Grey Bruce Health Services is moving forward with approximately $5.5 million worth of projects at hospitals across the Corporation.
Several of the projects are being funded by donations to various GBHS hospital foundations, while others are being funded through the annual Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund from the Ministry of Health.
These new projects include: -HVAC system upgrades at the Southampton Hospital -The purchase, renovation and installation of new laundry equipment to serve all six hospitals -A new parking lot in Owen Sound for 190 cars -Renovations to the Emergency Department in Wiarton -Expansion of cataract services to the Meaford Hospital -A new non-urgent patient transportation fleet, owned and operated by GBHS
“Our staff have been focused on our COVID-19 response for almost two years,” said Gary Sims, GBHS President and CEO. “It is very encouraging to now have the time, and resources, to launch a number of infrastructure projects that will benefit our patients, staff and our communities. These projects are in addition to the new hospital we are in the midst of building in Markdale.”
