Recreation Therapy

Currently  there are eight Recreation Therapists on staff at William Osler Health Centre - three at Etobicoke General Hospital and five at Brampton Civic Hospital. 

These therapists work on various units such as rehabilitation, mental health, chronic care and palliative care. All our Recreation Therapists come to us with an educational background in Recreation and Leisure from universities and colleges in Ontario and Nova Scotia. Our therapists have a variety of experience from Canada and the USA as well as hospital and nursing home facilities.

Recreation Therapists create linkages with community groups and facilities to provide a continuim of care. By doing this the patients will participate in recreation and leisure pursuits post discharge.

Recreation Therapists use a holistic approach when working with patients at WOHC by looking at the physical, social, cognitive, emotional and spiritual aspects. We follow the Standards of Practice that have been developed by Therapeutic Recreation Ontario as well as the code of ethics.
