The University of Alberta Hospital (UAH) is a research and teaching hospital in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The hospital is affiliated with the University of Alberta and run by Capital Health, the regional health authority for Edmonton. It is one of Canada's leading health sciences centres, providing a comprehensive range of diagnostic and treatment services to inpatients and outpatients. The UAH has 650 beds and treats over 700,000 patients annually.[1]
The Stollery Children's Hospital and the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute are both part of the UAH, and act as embedded, "hospitals within a hospital". The Stollery Children's Hospital, along with other UAH facilities, is located in the Walter C. Mackenzie Health Sciences Centre. The Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute is located in a new building that opened on May 1, 2008.[2]
The UAH opened on April 6, 1906, as the Strathcona Cottage Hospital. The hospital joined the University of Alberta Medical School in 1914 to become the then 96-bed University of Alberta Hospital. In 1994, it became part of the Capital Health region.[3]
Because of the UAH, the surrounding area has become part of a healthcare cluster that also includes the Cross Cancer Institute.
The whole complex is served by the Health Sciences light rail transit station.
