Ontario Investing $12 Billion to Build New, Improved Hospitals
As part of the 2016 Budget, Ontario plans to invest $12 billion over 10 years in Ontario hospitals to continue building modern hospital infrastructure. The province is also providing $50 million in new annual funding to help hospitals keep their facilities in good repair.
These healthcare infrastructure investments are helping expand access to high-quality care so patients receive the care they need in a safe and healthy environment. Across the province, approximately 35 major hospital projects are under construction or in various stages of planning.
Examples of hospital projects being planned or already underway include:
- Mackenzie Health’s new Mackenzie Vaughan Hospital project
- New Providence Care Hospital in Kingston
- Renovation of acute and long-term care beds at the Atikokan General Hospital
- Expansion and redevelopment at Cambridge Memorial Hospital
Ontario is making the largest investment in public infrastructure in the province’s history — about $160 billion over 12 years, which is supporting 110,000 jobs every year across the province, with projects such as roads, bridges, transit systems, schools and hospitals. In 2015, the province announced support for more than 325 projects that will keep people and goods moving, connect communities and improve quality of life.
