WATERLOO — The Ontario government has announced it is investing an additional $10 million to support the planning and construction of a new Waterloo Regional Health Network hospital.
This money builds on the Ontario government’s previous investment of $5 million.
The project will expand capacity, improve services and reduce wait times.
Once opened, the new hospital would include:
- Increased patient capacity
- More access to core programs, emergency services and critical care
- Expanded cardiac clinics as part of the Regional Cardiac Care Centre
- Medical imaging, diagnostic services and enhanced surgical spaces
- Maternal, newborn and pediatric care
- Modernized medical and surgical inpatient units
The new hospital site is located on the University of Waterloo lands west of Bearinger Road and Hagey Boulevard, the release adds.
As a next step, the Ministry of Health will work with the Waterloo Regional Health Network to complete early planning for this project, including determining bed numbers and square footage.
