The province is putting money into Brant County.
$2.5 million is being invested into Brantford General Hospital and Willet Hospital in Paris.
Through this investment, the hospital will be able to increase the total number of beds from 310 to 384 across its two sites.
The redeveloped Brantford General Hospital is planned to include a new patient care tower and renovations to existing space that expand capacity for intensive care, rehabilitation and complex continuing care, and ambulatory services.
Major renovations at the Willett site will replace outdated infrastructure with high tech facilities, including a new satellite dialysis unit, expanded urgent care centre, chronic disease management clinic, and upgraded transition care for patients waiting to transition to the next stage of their recovery.
Ontario is working with Brant Community Healthcare System on the early stages of planning with construction expected to begin as early as 2024.
