Toronto Grace Health Centre is a hospital located at 650 Church Street in Toronto, Ontario. Owned and operated by the Salvation Army, it specializes in palliative care, slow-paced rehabilitation, and complex continuing care.
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 1970's when the hospital closed its pregnancy ward. It was one of the first hospitals in Canada to introduce palliative care. It is now a long term 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]
