The University Health Network (UHN) represents the coming together of shared values and diverse expertise in patient care, research and teaching. Each of our facilities (Toronto General Hospital, Princess Margaret Hospital and Toronto Western Hospital) makes a unique contribution to the whole. Together, we create something far greater than the sum of our parts.

Our Logo
Our visual identity works the same way. The three leaves in our graphic signature represent our three hospitals as well as our three primary commitments — patient care, research and teaching. Together, the leaves link to form a circle of continuity, cooperation and completion. Upon closer examination, it is evident the outline of the leaves form faces that transcend cultural boundaries. The faces can be interpreted as young, old, male or female, representing our focus on our patients.

Our Colours
Blue has always been a traditional colour of our hospitals. Gold holds symbolic qualities — a symbol of rising above the challenges, a winning attitude and a continuation of excellence in medical science.

Our Name
"University" reflects our primary commitment to research and teaching as well as our affiliation with the University of Toronto Medical School. In addition, Toronto's University Avenue is the location of our Network's administrative hub as well as two of our three hospitals.

The phrase "Health Network" reflects the fact that health means much more than "hospital." "Network" also reflects each partner's independence, interdependence and interactivity.

"University Health Network" represents a collective identity. It gives us the flexibility to tie our organization together as a whole while acknowledging each unique hospital's culture, tradition and programs.

Rooted in tradition and excellence and structured to meet the new realities, University Health Network weaves together the talents and resources which make us a global leader in health care, research and education.
