History
The hospital was established as the Lady Grey Hospital in February 1910 and renamed the Royal Ottawa Hospital in 1969. Andrew Leyshon-Hughes, a killer who stabbed Canadian heiress Nancy Eaton twenty-one times, was confined to the hospital in the 1980s.
A new facility for the ROMHC, designed by the Parkin Group and built by a joint venture of Carillion and EllisDon, was completed in 2006.
In 2014 Psychiatrist Paul Fedoroff and the ROMHC came under criticism for claiming they could cure pedophilia. Sexual behavior scientists and pedophilia researchers reported that there was no evidence to support Fedoroff's claims.
