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.

Within our Neuro/MSK program, 3 distinctive units are home to one of Canada’s most comprehensive multidisciplinary teams that provides exceptional, patient‑centred care to patients who have been diagnosed with brain tumours, subdural hematoma, subarachnoid haemorrhage, arterial venous malformations and spinal surgery patients.

4J Neurosurgery, a 14‑bed unit, is a Regional Centre for Neurosurgery. 3J Neurosurgery Special Care Unit is an 8‑bed unit that provides high observation to neurosurgery patients post‑operatively and patients with higher care needs than can be managed on a ward level. 4J Surgical Spine is a 16‑bed unit that provides acute care to patients before and after spinal surgery.
