Description:
The hospital expansion resulted in the creation of approximately 270,000 square feet of new construction and 70,000 square feet of renovations. It has increased the hospital’s physical capacity from 382 to 471 beds and double the number of birthing suites from seven to 15, while providing additional room for growth. Also included in the expansion are laboratory services and genetics counseling, endoscopy clinic, surgical services, inpatient rehabilitation and mental health care areas, as well as an expanded inpatient complex continuing care area.
The final milestone of the project was the opening of the newly named Erin Mills Regional Women’s and Children’s Health Centre, in honour of a $6 million gift from the Erin Mills Development Corporation. The new Centre opened for patient care in early May 2011. The Centre will house a comprehensive range of programs including: expanded birthing and mother baby units, an advanced Level II Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and the regional pediatrics’ program, which includes the largest pediatrics oncology satellite program in Ontario outside of the Hospital for Sick Children.
