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.
