It’s time to build a health care system that meets the needs of our growing community.
A community is only as healthy as the people who live, work and play in it.
As our cities and region evolve, our health care system must evolve with it.
That’s why Grand River Hospital and St. Mary’s General Hospital are partnering to build a new joint hospital and modernize hospital facilities, so our community has access to the highest quality care, technology and infrastructure to be healthy, now and in the future.
Waterloo Region is one of the fastest-growing urban areas in Canada.
The staff, physicians and volunteers at Grand River Hospital and St. Mary’s General Hospital provide excellent patient care, but we’ve outgrown our aging buildings.
Over the next two decades
Almost 2 million Ontarians will come to our hospitals to access care
Hospital usage for seniors will grow by 170%
We will need over 500 additional hospital beds
