Ontario Investing Over $4.2 Million in Health Care Infrastructure Upgrades and Repairs for Trillium Health Partners in Mississauga and Etobicoke<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MISSISSAUGA – The Ontario government is investing $4,211,561.00 this year to support critical upgrades and repairs at hospitals operated by Trillium Health partners. This funding is part of the government\u2019s investment of over $182 million provided through the Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund and the Community Infrastructure Renewal Fund to 131 hospitals and 65 community health service providers across the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis investment by the Government of Ontario will allow THP to continue to make critical upgrades and repairs across our hospital sites, including modernization and replacement projects at our Credit Valley Hospital and Queensway Health Centre sites,\u201d said Karli Farrow, President and CEO of Trillium Health Partners. \u201cI want to thank the government and our local MPPs for working in partnership with THP, and for their continued support as we work together to deliver the high-quality care this community deserves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith these new investments in Mississauga\u2019s public healthcare infrastructure, our government is fulfilling its commitments to building Ontario and supporting the people of Mississauga,\u201d said Sheref Sabawy, MPP for Mississauga\u2014Erin Mills. \u201cWe are looking forward to continuing to work with Trillium Health Partners to expand access to healthcare.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investments at Trillium Health Partners will support projects across all three sites. Projects include a new air handling unit to improve air quality for patients, roofing replacements and modernizing elevators to maintain the facilities. This will help ensure that patients can continue to access the care they need in a safe and comfortable environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natalia Kusendova, MPP for Mississauga\u2014Centre, said, \u201cAs a nurse, I am thrilled to see the government investing into vital health care infrastructure, ensuring that patients and their families have access to high-quality medical care they require in a secure setting. For patients to heal and be cared for, a nurturing physical environment must be created. Building up the infrastructure for health care is one of the main goals that we are achieving.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important for our government to support the growing demands on our healthcare system,\u201d said Nina Tangri, MPP for Mississauga\u2014Streetsville. \u201cAnnouncing this additional investment supports building capacity that helps us to continue with world class care and provide funding to address urgent needs for infrastructure renewal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese investments will help our local health system partners address critical infrastructure renewal needs, including replacements and upgrades of roofs, windows, security systems, fire alarms, and back-up generators,\u201d said Rudy Cuzzetto, MPP for Mississauga\u2014Lakeshore. \u201cBy keeping local hospital facilities in a good state of repair, we\u2019re ensuring that patients will continue to have access to high-quality care.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ontario is providing $175 million to hospitals through the Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund and over $7.6 million to community health service providers through the Community Infrastructure Renewal Fund. This funding from the province allows its health care system partners to address urgent infrastructure renewal needs such as upgrades or replacements of roofs, windows, security systems, fire alarms and back-up generators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur government is making investments to ensure Ontario\u2019s hospitals and community health infrastructure continue to be state-of-the-art facilities,\u201d said Sylvia Jones, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. \u201cThis funding will also help build the capacity we need to end hallway health care and ensure people continue to receive world-class care.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is crucial for infrastructure to remain up-to-date and modern. The Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund (HIRF) will ensure that our hospitals can uphold the world-class standards and services we have come to appreciate,\u201d noted Kaleed Rasheed, MPP for Mississauga\u2014East Cooksville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the 2022 Ontario Budget: Ontario\u2019s Plan to Build<\/a>,<\/em> and as part of its plan to build a stronger, more convenient and connected health care system, the government is implementing the most ambitious plan for hospital expansion in Ontario\u2019s history. This includes supporting more than 50 major hospital projects that would add 3,000 new beds over 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“One of Canada’s largest community-based, academically affiliated hospitals with the largest emergency department in the country, Trillium Health Partners (THP), has been serving the people of our beautiful Mississauga and western Toronto since 2011,” said Deepak Anand, MPP of Mississauga\u2014Malton. “Thanks to the $4,211,561 provided through Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund, THP will address critical needs, such as energy savings and technology upgrades. In return, these services will ensure our people continue receiving excellent care in a safe and comfortable environment with high-quality healthcare.”<\/p>\n\n\n
