Why it matters
The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital is planned to be Canada’s largest hospital, and its construction represents a massive shift in health infrastructure for the province. Trillium Health Partners already reports that its hospitals see more emergency room visits and in-patients, deliver more births, and perform more brain surgeries than any other hospital in the province, noting that admissions are usually at 110 per cent of capacity every day.
This project is part of a larger effort to address high demand for care across the province. The campaign also supports the redevelopment of the Queensway Health Centre, which will more than double its bed capacity, indicating a provincial focus on expanding capacity and improving care delivery in response to existing pressures.
