Ontario is moving forward with plans to construct a new hospital in the Markdale community to improve access to health care in the region.
The new hospital will replace the current aging building and will boast improved services for patients, including integrated 24/7 urgent and primary care. It will also include short-stay beds, minor procedure space, as well as diagnostic and laboratory services.
The new hospital will enable Grey Bruce Health Services to work closely with primary care providers and other partners in the Markdale community to deliver seamless, patient-centred, comprehensive and sustainable care for patients.
Markdale is to receive its long-awaited new hospital, sources say.
An announcement of the new facility, by the provincial government, is imminent.
Local MPP Bill Walker commented:
"Last evening I received news from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term care that Minister Eric Hoskins was visiting Markdale to "share new information about Markdale Hospital." His staff would not disclose any further information. As all of us are well aware, the Government has been promising to replace the ageing Centre Grey Hospital for more than a decade.
