Markham Stouffville Hospital has a clinic in partnership with the Ontario Workers Network (OWN).

About the Ontario Workers Network (OWN) Clinic

The Ontario Workers Network (OWN) Clinic is a specialty clinic for orthopaedic patients with upper and lower extremity injuries. This clinic is for patients who are experiencing chronic injuries and have not been able to return to work. This clinic is not for someone who has just injured themselves and is in need of immediate medical attention.

This clinic offers you a comprehensive assessment, access to a surgeon, physiotherapist and rehabilitation services with the goal of getting you back to work within nine to 12 weeks. Following assessment, you will receive services within 10 days if indicated by the surgeon.

OWN services are available to all employed individuals in Ontario regardless of their economic status. Patients are referred to the clinic by OWN referral only.
