Mackenzie and Philips have agreed an 18-year partnership to equip and advance Mackenzie Health’s medical technology procurement and maintenance programs for their existing Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital and the new Mackenzie Vaughan Hospital – Canada’s first smart hospital.
Embracing connected health technologies to offer an advanced emergency department, modern surgical services and operating rooms, access to acute inpatient and intensive care beds, technologically-advanced medical imaging, specialized ambulatory clinics and a flexible design, enabling it to evolve as new thinking and best practices emerge. While Philips acts as a procurement arm for medical devices, strong governance allows Mackenzie Health to maintain control in the evaluation of suppliers allowing for clinical freedom of choice.
At Mackenzie Health, patients are at the heart of everything we do. With Philips as our partner we know that we will not only be able to improve the quality and efficiency of care but also enhance the patient experience”.

Terry Villella, Vice President, Finance & Chief Financial Officer

Hospitals are complex organizations, which are challenged to deliver excellent healthcare within a limited budget. We chose to collaborate with Philips for their knowledge of workflows in the hospital environment as well as the expertise in medical technology optimization, training, maintenance, IT integration and data analytics. Their ability to work with us as an early advisor in the design and strategic planning process of our smart hospital vision is what set them apart”.
