Accessibility
Given the nature of the clients we serve, accessibility is foremost in our built environment, planning, program development and services. Holland Bloorview also works closely with other community providers to help increase accessibility for our clients outside of Holland Bloorview’s programming.
- In 2025, Holland Bloorview installed its first piece of accessible workout equipment in the staff fitness centre: a plinth table. This adaptive equipment provides a raised, stable surface that makes stretching and exercise more accessible for staff with mobility challenges - promoting safety, comfort and independence.
- In 2022, the Rick Hansen Foundation conducted an accessibility audit on Holland Bloorview, examining the hospital’s infrastructure from the parking lot to the workspaces and pool change rooms. The audit awarded Holland Bloorview with a gold certification.
- Holland Bloorview is the proud owner of Canada’s first child-friendly and fully accessible research MRI Suite. The technology delivers an experience that is simultaneously immersive and calming for patients.
- We have an accessible playground with an universal design which allows accessible functionality to be seamlessly blended into the equipment.
- We also have an Issues resolution process by which accessibility issues can be identified and addressed.
