Overview

Located on the corner of Church and Bloor Street in downtown Toronto, the six-storey facility [1] was known as a maternity hospital up to the 1970s when the hospital closed its pregnancy ward. It is now a rehabilitation and palliative care facility. [2]

In 2002, the hospital underwent several renovations, meant to curb energy consumption, in associated with the Energy Innovators Initiative [3]

The Salvation Army was prepared to close the hospital starting in February 2010 due to high upkeep costs, [4] but a deal was struck between the Province and the Salvation Army to keep the hospital open. [5]
