Hospitals in our region are getting a funding boost from the province to the tune of $4.3 million.
Perth-Wellington MPP Matthew Rae says the money will go towards critical upgrades, repairs and maintenance.
It will be shared among four healthcare facilities including the Stratford General Hospital and the St.Marys Memorial Hospital.
The funding is being pulled from the province’s Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund.
“This funding is essential for our hospitals to continue providing the best care possible in our rural communities,” MPP Matthew Rae said. “The highest quality care requires the highest quality equipment and facilities. This funding will provide that.”
“The Ontario Hospital Infrastructure Renewal Program provides consistent, annual funding to support maintaining hospital infrastructure such as boilers, roofs, generators and fire sprinkler systems,” Listowel and Wingham Hospital Alliance President and CEO, Karl Ellis said. “We are grateful that this funding is available to keep our hospital facilities in Listowel and Wingham up to date.”
