History
Bruyère Continuing Care (French : Soins Continus Bruyère) is a bilingual academic health care organization comprised of three geographical sites in the Champlain Region.
Bruyère was founded in 1845 by Mother Élisabeth Bruyère, a deeply committed woman who came to Bytown to help the poor, the sick and the elderly. Building on her legacy, Bruyère proudly continues her mission by providing complex continuing care, stroke and geriatric rehabilitation, palliative care, long-term care, family medicine, affordable and supportive housing for seniors and a wide range of outpatient services and clinics to address the needs of the aging population.
In 2015, Bruyère received its accreditation from Accreditation Canada. The senior leadership team is guided by Daniel Levac, president and chief executive officer, who reports to the Bruyère board of directors, led by John Riddle.
The Sisters of Charity have been a cornerstone of health care in the nation’s capital for over 170 years. The Ontario Heritage Trust erected a plaque for Élisabeth Bruyère in front of their chapel located at 25 Bruyère St. at Sussex Drive in Ottawa.
Sites and Services
Saint-Vincent Hospital Founded in 1924, this hospital was originally named Saint-Vincent House and was located on King Edward Avenue in Ottawa. In 1932, it was taken over by the Grey Nuns of the Cross and moved to its current location on Cambridge Street North. The hospital underwent major construction and renovation projects in 1954 and 2002. The specialized program of this hospital is for medically complex patients who require a hospital stay, regular on-site physician/nursing care assessment, and active care management by specialized staff. It aims to improve and maintain function for patients with complex care needs by providing them with required services and support to transition back to the community, when possible.
Élisabeth Bruyère Hospital The Élisabeth Bruyère Hospital is one of Ottawa’s first hospitals. The historic stone building was completed in 1845 and originally opened on Bruyère Street as the Ottawa General Hospital. The Élisabeth Bruyère Hospital is a landmark in downtown Ottawa. It is one of the largest single-site providers of inpatient academic rehabilitation in the region. It is home to one of the largest academic palliative care units in Canada. Palliative care is an approach that improves quality of life for patients and families who are facing symptoms associated with a life-limiting illness. Along with community-based patient care, the program provides another service which is family medicine centre. It also provides training for interprofessional students and medical residents. Also provided at the Élisabeth Bruyère Hospital is a wide range of outpatient programs and clinics that address the needs of the community, namely the John and Jennifer Ruddy Geriatric Day Hospital and the Bruyère Memory Program. The Élisabeth Bruyère Residence is a 71-bed long-term care home adjacent to the Élisabeth Bruyère Hospital.
Saint-Louis Residence In their quest to care for the elderly, the Sisters of Charity of Ottawa open the St. Charles Old Age Hospice on Cathcart Street in 1871. In 1954, Villa Saint-Louis opened on the banks of the Ottawa River in Orléans. The large residence accommodated 90 people and was used to welcome the nuns and nurses in need of rest. On the evening of May 15, 1956, a CF-100 aircraft crashes on the villa following an operational mission, killing 15 people including 11 nuns, a chaplain, a kitchen assistant, the pilot and navigator. The building was rebuilt and Saint-Louis Residence officially opened in 1966, welcoming its first residents from the St. Charles Old Age Hospice. The residence is a 198-bed francophone long-term care home recognized by the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario as a Best Practice Spotlight Organization. In 2012, the Bruyère Village opened on the same property. It addresses the needs of the aging population and the community by offering affordable independent and assisted-living apartments for seniors. Adjacent to Saint-Louis Residence, the apartments are designed to promote healthy aging thanks to specialized programs and activities.
