The provincial government is investing $11,527,255 to complete upgrades and repairs at hospitals in Bruce, Grey, Huron and Perth counties, creating a safer, more comfortable space for people and their families to connect to care and services, close to home.
This funding is part of Ontario’s broader investment of more than $266-million through the Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund (HIRF) to support infrastructure upgrades, maintenance and repairs at 126 hospitals across the province.
“Our government is ensuring that our local hospitals have up-to-date, safe, and efficient facilities, which is vital for the well-being of our communities,” said Huron-Bruce MPP Lisa Thompson, minister of rural affairs. “This targeted funding through the Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund will allow for our local hospitals to make critical upgrades, providing a safer and more comfortable environment for both patients and our dedicated health-care front-line workers.”
“Investing in our hospitals means investing in the health and well-being of our communities," said Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound MPP Paul Vickers. "I’m proud our government is supporting upgrades that will help deliver quality care close to home for years to come.”
