Local hospitals receive thousands in funding
Late last week the provincial
government handed out $5.47
million to help improve
infrastructure to over a dozen
community hospitals, several of
them local.
According to a press release
issued by the provincial government,
the funds will go towards helping
with structural upgrades such as roof
replacements and new windows,
upgrades to heating, ventilation and
air conditioning systems, upgrades
to back-up generators and upgrades
to fire alarm systems and other work
that will address requirements
under the Ontario Building and Fire
Codes.
“Through this investment in
hospital infrastructure, we are
ensuring that patients have access to
care in spaces that are safe, healthy
and comfortable,” said Dr. Eric
Hoskins, Minister of Health and
Long-Term Care. “These projects
make a real, positive difference in
the healing environment,
complimenting the high quality care
patients receive in Ontario
hospitals.”
The funding amount for local
facilities are: $390,922, Alexandra
Marine and General Hospital;
$142,680, Clinton Public Hospital;
$244,902, Four Counties Health
Services; $218,218, Listowel
Memorial Hospital; $194,389,
Seaforth Community Hospital;
$526,594, Stratford General
Hospital and $294,748, Wingham
and District Hospital.
“I’m pleased that our government
is investing in infrastructure for
hospitals throughout the southwest
region. It’s important that patients
and their families are able to
concentrate on their health in a high
quality facility that is safe and close
to home and this investment will
further support that environment,”
said Deb Matthews, MPP for
London North Centre.
