Patients and Families

As a specialty, tertiary mental health care provider for Eastern Ontario, our services are accessed through a referral from your family physician or through a hospital. Our clinicians work closely together to treat our patients with the highest skill and expertise available, and with the utmost care and concern. Patient care is provided in Ottawa at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre, Royal Ottawa Place, Brockville Mental Health Centre and through community outreach in Eastern Ontario. Much of the work of The Royal is done beyond the walls of our hospitals. We are out in the community delivering care to patients through our community team, in long term care facilities, in shelters and on the streets.
