We are committed to partnering with families and the community to provide exceptional care — where, when and how it’s needed.

We’ve put a lot of focus on driving down our administrative costs while providing exceptional care.
- After amalgamating with the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre in 2016, we reduced the number of executive positions from 12 to seven, resulting in a savings of more than $830,000 in 2018.
- Since 2010 there has been various legislation to freeze and modify the total compensation for executives. CHEO complies with all relevant legislation. CHEO is committed to allocating more of its resources to patient care and services.
Executive compensation framework
CHEO’s executive recruitment and compensation strategy is centered on finding the best people for the job, with salaries targeted in the mid-range for similar positions in this sector.
