The Toronto Academic Health Science Network (TAHSN) is a consortium of academic health care organizations affiliated with the University of Toronto. Aside from the university, it comprises 14 health science research institutes and teaching hospitals with significant emphasis on tertiary care, including medical treatment, research and advisory services to patients and clients from Canada and abroad.
Ten TAHSN hospitals ranked in the 2025 list of Canada’s Top 40 Research Hospitals published by Research Infosource Inc. Its hospitals represent 40 per cent of total research spending among the top 40 research hospitals in Canada, with about $1.5 billion in combined spending.
The TAHSN is associated with two level 1 adult trauma centres, a multi-organ transplant hospital, a pediatric hospital, a psychiatric hospital, a geriatric hospital, four rehabilitation institutes and several general hospitals. The University of Toronto's Temerty Faculty of Medicine also houses Biosafety level 3 facilities.
