Dr. Gihad Nesrallah specializes in nephrology. HRH is affiliated with the University of Toronto and Queen’s University, is a fully digital hospital, and is one of the largest regional acute care hospitals serving more than 850,000 people in the northwest Greater Toronto Area (GTA). A Northwest Toronto Ontario Health Team (HRH and partner organizations) planning exercise found that, compared to other Ontario sites, HRH has a greater proportion of patients over 80, the greatest number of recent immigrants, higher chronic disease prevalence, the second highest rate of ED usage, and 11% of patients lack a primary care provider. Research areas of interest include cancer, critical care, nephrology, surgical services, and infectious diseases.
