Accreditation

In 2020, North York General Hospital was Accredited with Exemplary Standing, the highest designation given by Accreditation Canada. NYGH is proud to participate in this voluntary accreditation process to assess performance against national standards of health care excellence.

NYGH met 99.8% of the requirements which covered all patient care programs and functions like quality, people-centred care, patient safety, patient experience, strategic and operational planning, and community engagement. Of the 2,529 criteria evaluated in October 2020, only four were identified as areas for improvement. We are particularly proud of this achievement during the global pandemic.

The surveyors highlighted many areas of excellence including NYGH’s strong connection with the community, our partnerships with patients and families, and the organization’s relentless focus on quality improvement.
