}}North York General Hospital (NYGH) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, offers acute care, ambulatory and long-term services at multiple sites. Known as North York General, it is one of Canada's leading community academic hospitals and is affiliated with the University of Toronto.[1] The hospital primarily serves north central Toronto and southern York Region. NYGH is one of the three constituent hospitals of the Peters-Boyd Academy of the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine.[2]

History

North York General Hospital at Leslie Street and Sheppard Avenue was opened in 1968. The four founding partners were: Friends of North York General (later to become the North York General Hospital Foundation); the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire (IODE), a Canadian women's charitable organization; the Missionary Health Institute; and Volunteer Services.[3] In 1960, a group of local citizens established the North Metropolitan Hospital Association to explore building a hospital to serve the growing area of North York. Under the leadership of Colonel Clifford Sifton, plans were made and funds raised for a 70-bed community hospital on the corner of Leslie and Sheppard. By November 1962, land on the Leslie site was obtained. Some 3,000 volunteers collected $3.2 million of the $8.6 million cost of the new hospital. On March 15, 1968, Premier John Robarts officially dedicated North York General Hospital. The hospital underwent a major expansion that opened in 2003. Today, North York General encompasses multiple sites: the General site, Branson Ambulatory Care Centre, Seniors' Health Centre and Reactivation Care Centre. On March 1, 2017, North York General Hospital announced the hospital would not be renewing its lease at the Branson Ambulatory Care Centre in 2019 and would begin to transition services from that site.[4] On December 10, 2017, the [https://www.reactivationcarecentre.ca Reactivation Care Centre: A Central LHIN Hospitals Collaborative] opened at 2111 Finch Avenue West. In May 2018, the hospital announced two new locations would replace the Branson Ambulatory Care Centre.
