Premier Doug Ford joined Niagara Health to break ground on the South Niagara hospital
After over a decade of planning, construction of the new South Niagara hospital has started.
This morning, Premier Doug Ford, Health Minister Sylvia Jones and Infrastructure Minister Kinga Surma joined Niagara Health to break ground on the new hospital.
"Today’s groundbreaking event for the new South Niagara hospital brings us one step closer to connecting the people of the growing Niagara region to more convenient care close to home for generations to come," said Ford. "Right across the province, we’re investing nearly $50 billion over the next 10 years to support more than 50 major hospital projects. When it comes to your health, we’re building a healthcare system that all Ontarians deserve."
The hospital, which will be located in Niagara Falls near Montrose and Biggar Roads, will be 1.3 million square feet.
It will offer a full scope of hospital services, including emergency, critical care, diagnostic, surgical and therapeutic services.
The site will also be the first WELL-certified hospital in the country, as it will include features that focus on the health and well being of all occupants.
Excavation work is expected to start by the end of the summer, and the hospital will take about five years to complete.
An official grand opening is expected to take place in summer 2028.
