Living and Working in the Ottawa Health Sector
Ottawa is a perfect place to call home for any health professional. Whether you are a doctor, nurse, paramedic, health researcher, or public servant in the health field, you will find there are plenty of employment opportunities in this city.
Ottawa has a number of major hospitals that provide a variety of services from emergency care to specialized medicine. The national capital is also home to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (commonly referred to as CHEO), a world-class facility that treats children from ages 0 to 18. In addition, Ottawa has several institutions that offer medical services for military personnel, veterans, and seniors. Also, researchers or anyone else interested in working in the health field will find ample opportunity in health organizations such as the Canadian Medical Organization or the Department of Health Canada. Furthermore, aspiring health practitioners can come to Ottawa to study at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Ottawa.

Although there are health centres located across the city, the majority of institutions are located in Ottawa East. Here you will find the Ottawa Hospital, the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, the Montfort Hospital, the Ottawa Health Sciences Centre, the Ottawa Hospital Rehabilitation Centre, Canadian Forces Health Care Centre of Ottawa, Ottawa Hospital Riverside Campus, and Perley and Rideau Veterans Health Centre. Also in this area are the Ottawa headquarters for the Canadian Medical Association, Canadian Dental Association, and Alzheimer Society of Ottawa. Finally, the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Medicine campus is also located in Ottawa East.
Working in the health sector is extremely rewarding, but it can also be quite demanding, with long hours and high stress. After a busy day (or night), you will want to take a short drive home to rest in your quiet and peaceful living space.
Located at 1971 to 1975 St. Laurent Boulevard, in Ottawa's beautiful and highly accessible Elmvale Acres area, Union Square Apartments are newly renovated and will soon be the largest upscale apartment rental complex of its kind in Ottawa. All of Union Square’s one and two bedroom apartments are 100% newly renovated and feature the luxury, comfort, and cleanliness that anyone who works in the health field deserves.
The buildings are also conveniently close to Ottawa's major hospitals, including CHEO, the Ottawa Hospital complex, Montfort Hospital, and University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine campus.
In addition, Union Square Apartments are also located in the centre of the growing Elmvale Acres neighbourhood. The complex is only a stone’s throw from the Elmvale Acres Shopping Centre, which offers many trendy clothing stores, services, an LCBO, Beer Store, pharmacy, and restaurants. Also, Union Square’s two towers are across the street from a main OC Transpo bus station, which gives tenants the ability to access most major routes right outside their front door.
As it is extremely close to several Ottawa health care centres, a number of health practitioners already come home to Union Square after a busy day. To learn more about apartment availability, please contact us today.
