The Ontario government is marking the groundbreaking of Trillium Health Partners’ new Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital. Ontario is investing more than $14 billion to build the new 2.8-million-square-foot Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital, tripling the size of the existing Mississauga Hospital to help provide health care to an estimated 2.2 million people. The new hospital will become the largest teaching hospital in Canada, will create one of the biggest emergency departments in the province and will include the Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children.
Once open, the state-of-the-art hospital will bring 2,400 more health-care workers and approximately 400 additional doctors to the community, significantly increasing Trillium Health Partners’ ability to provide more patients and families with timely, high-quality services including cancer care, cardiac surgeries and geriatric mental health resources.
Once completed, the new hospital will include:
- A new 22-storey patient care tower with over 350 new fully private beds, bringing the total number of beds to over 950
- Nine new and 14 enhanced state-of-the-art operating rooms, increasing surgical capacity and reducing wait times across the region
- A brand-new, 24-7 emergency department that will become one of the largest in the province to connect more people to a wide range of emergency and urgent medical care
- The Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children, which will span over 200,000 square feet and include one of the largest Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) in the province, designed to deliver specialized, high-acuity care for newborns and their families
- Advanced diagnostic imaging facilities
- A new pharmacy, clinical laboratory and improved infection prevention and control measures.
