The University Health Network, where "above all else the needs of patients come first", encompasses Toronto General Hospital, Toronto Western Hospital, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Toronto Rehabilitation Institute and the Michener Institute of Education.

The breadth of research, the complexity of the cases treated, and the magnitude of its educational enterprise has made UHN a national and international resource for patient care, research and education.

With a long tradition of ground breaking firsts and a purpose of "Transforming lives and communities through excellence in care, discovery and learning", the University Health Network (UHN), Canada's largest research teaching hospital, brings together over 16,000 employees, more than 1,200 physicians, 8,000+ students, and many volunteers.

UHN is a caring, creative place where amazing people are amazing the world.

UHN's Centre for Mental Health

Imagine a world where all of your health needs - both physical and mental - are assessed, diagnosed and treated as a whole.

Where you partner with your healthcare provider for the right help, at the right time, free from stigma and discrimination.

A world where whole person health is the standard of care.

This bold vision is the future of health care at UHN.
