The Ontario government announced today at Brantford General Hospital that it is investing an additional $12.5 million to support the planning and construction of a new Brant Community Healthcare System hospital. The expanded facility will serve Brant County, Six Nations of the Grand River, and surrounding communities with improved access to high-quality, timely care.
“Our government is making historic investments to protect Ontario’s health-care system, ensuring more people in Brant County can connect to the care they need, where and when they need it,” said Sylvia Jones, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “By investing to build a brand-new Brant Community Healthcare System hospital, we are making it faster and easier for more people and their families to access world-class care in their community, for generations to come.”
“Brant Community Healthcare System is sincerely appreciative of this new $12.5 million planning grant,” said President and CEO Bonnie Camm. “This funding allows us to start the detailed work to bring a shared vision to a working concept.”
The new state-of-the-art hospital will include expanded emergency, surgical, pediatric, mental health, and outpatient services.
