For more than 100 years, West Park has been helping patients live their fullest lives. Located on picturesque land bordering the Humber Valley in west Toronto, West Park was originally founded as a “sanitarium” for the treatment of tuberculosis. When antibiotics reduced the toll of TB in the 1950s, West Park expanded on its expertise in respiratory illness and complex health conditions to become a nationally recognized leader in rehabilitative medicine. Our specialized programs include: • amputee rehabilitation and advanced prosthetics and orthotics, to help people lead active, independent lives after the loss of a limb; • multi-trauma musculoskeletal rehabilitation, to help people who have experienced severe physical trauma achieve maximum independence; • respiratory rehabilitation, to help people with chronic lung disease breathe and better manage their health; • spasticity management, to help people living with a painful side-effect of neurological conditions; and, • long-term assisted ventilation, to support those who depend on mechanical ventilators for life. We are creating a bold new vision for West Park: an integrated campus of care with a remarkable new hospital at its heart. West Park Foundation’s $80-million Get Your Life Back Campaign will help transform our campus and ensure that the new hospital is a leading-edge facility, a match for the courage of our patients and the commitment of our staff.
