Our partnerships and team structure allow us to provide our patients with outpatient care closer to home with our diagnostic assessment clinics at MGH, RVH and Odette Cancer Centre. We aim to minimize travel time, annoyances and cost to our patients and their loved ones.

In partnership with our surgeons, a dedicated number of physicians (Intensivists, Respirologists and Anesthesiologists) in addition to dedicated allied health professionals (nurses, respiratory therapists, and physiotherapists) ensure care is comprehensive and collaborative.

We have many ways for your doctor to refer you to one of the surgeons. Our Time to Treat program is a unique Diagnostic Assessment Unit recognized by Cancer Care Ontario as in innovative program that helps patients navigate through their cancer journey.

For other patients – referring to the Chest Centre will ensure you are seen in a timely fashion by one of our chest experts.

Surgicentre

Another unique feature at MGH

The Surgicentre is another unique feature at MGH which allows patients to have their bronchoscopy, gastroscopy or other minor surgical procedure in a state-of-the-art facility, supported by our Department of Anesthesia to ensure a safe and comfortable diagnostic procedure.

The Chest Centre has a new minor procedure room which houses our Pleural Effusion Clinic and allows us to perform some procedures on the same day as your visit that way patients don’t need to come to several appointments for the same problem.
