Advertising & Sponsorship Policy

How canadahospitals.org/ separates advertising from hospital directory facts, official-source verification, corrections and no-medical-advice boundaries.

Advertising Boundary

canadahospitals.org/ may display advertising to support the cost of research, editing, hosting and updates. Advertising must not control hospital listing facts, official-source verification, correction decisions or editorial conclusions.

No Paid Medical Recommendation

No sponsored medical advice

We do not sell disease-treatment recommendations, diagnosis guidance, clinical rankings, appointment referrals or “best hospital for your condition” placements. Any advertisement is not a medical recommendation.

Sponsored or Affiliate Disclosure

If sponsored content, affiliate links or commercial placements are ever used, they must be clearly labelled in a way readers can understand. Sponsored content cannot be presented as independent editorial verification.

Hospital and Healthcare Advertising

Healthcare advertisers, if any, must not require us to remove disclaimers, hide official-source links, mislabel facility type, inflate claims or publish unverified services. We reserve the right to reject ads that could confuse readers about medical advice or emergency care.

Editorial Independence

  • Corrections are handled based on official sources, not advertiser preference.
  • Listings are not rankings unless a page clearly explains the ranking method and source.
  • Official hospital links remain important even when ads appear on a page.
  • Readers should confirm hospital details directly with official sources.
