“Further integrating research into care remains a top priority of The Royal. In fact, it is so important that it is a key pillar of our latest strategic plan, Co-creating access, hope and new possibilities.” Dr. Joanne Bezzubetz, president and chief executive officer of The Royal, said. “We are pleased with our progress thus far and are excited by the new possibilities on the horizon as we make participating in research more accessible to our organization and work to engage clients and their families at every stage in the exploration process.”
“We are honoured to once again be recognized as one of Canada’s premier research hospitals,” Dr. Florence Dzierszinski, president of The University of Ottawa Institute of Mental Health Research at The Royal and vice president of research of The Royal, said. “Despite the complexities of managing several significant transitions, we are excited at our continued growth and at the prioritization of research at The Royal. Our diverse community of researchers inspire hope through innovative discoveries, meaningful engagement of clients and their loved ones, and deep collaboration with partners and key stakeholders. As we grow in our integration of research across the care continuum, and as we continue to invest in our talent, we will also expand and connect our technology platforms to further empower world-class mental health and substance use health research here in the nation’s capital.”
As one of Canada’s leading academic health science centres, researchers with The Royal and The University of Ottawa Institute for Mental Health Research at The Royal specialize in complex and treatment-resistant mental illness, and conduct innovative work leading to the development of novel, more personalized and alternative options in prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
