Unity Health Toronto is a Catholic hospital network serving Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[1] It was initially founded in 2017 under the provisional name Our Shared Purpose through the merger of St. Michael's Hospital, Providence Healthcare and St. Joseph's Health Centre.[2] It is the largest Catholic health care network in Canada.[3] All three facilities in the network are members of the Catholic Health Sponsors of Ontario and the CHSO is responsible for ensuring consistency with the founding principles of the Sisters of St. Joseph.[4] Tim Rutledge is the CEO.[5]

In the 2019-2020 fiscal year, there were nearly 46,000 inpatient stays across the 3 constituent hospitals and over 173,000 emergency department visits. The average length of inpatient stays was 6.3 days.[6]
