We may soon be celebrating the groundbreaking of the Fancsy Family Hospital.
The Windsor Regional Hospital (WRH) board of directors held its annual general meeting on Thursday evening. During a report provided by hospital president and CEO Kristin Kennedy, it was announced that mid-July was set as a groundbreaking for the long-awaited project.
The announcement was confirmed to WindsorNewsToday.ca by a hospital spokesperson on Thursday night, with specific details still to come.
The site, at the corner of County Road 42 and County Road 9 near Windsor Airport, was blessed on Tuesday in an Indigenous ceremony.
