Trillium Health Partners is one of Canada’s largest community-based teaching hospitals, serving the growing and diverse populations of Mississauga, West Toronto, and surrounding communities through the Credit Valley Hospital, the Mississauga Hospital, the Queensway Health Centre, the Reactivation care Centre (Church Site) and the new THP-UHN Reactivation Care Centre. Guided by our values of compassion, excellence, and courage, and through our strategic roadmap, Plan to 2030, we are creating a new kind of health care - defined not by illness, but by the health and well-being of people and communities. 2C Cardiology is a 50-bed inpatient, acute care unit. We support a wide variety of complex cardiac patients, while working closely with Cardiac Cath Lab, Cardiac Short Stay and Coronary Care Unit. We primarily focus on medical management and minimally invasive procedures to care for our patients in their unique care needs. We also support off-service patients with telemetry needs. We have a broad team of skilled, interdisciplinary professionals to support our patients, and ensure they receive the best care possible while in our care.
