Reported byCBC Health ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
University Health Network's Dunn House, which opened in 2024 with 51 residents, will expand to serve 300 people across four buildings in Toronto. Early residents showed 52% fewer ER visits and 79% shorter hospital stays; hospital costs fell from $2.1 million to $1.66 million annually for 48 patients.
Federal, provincial and city funding supports the expansion; outcomes reflect early data from one program.
