Ontario Investing in Health Care Infrastructure Upgrades and Repairs

Modernizing Health Care Infrastructure to Support Safe and High-Quality Care for Patients

The Ontario government is investing $182.6 million this year to support critical upgrades, repairs and maintenance in 133 hospitals and 63 community health service providers across the province, including $50 million for COVID-19 related and other urgent projects at hospitals. This funding, provided through the Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund and the Community Infrastructure Renewal Fund, will ensure that Ontarians can continue to access the care they need in safe, comfortable environments and that the province’s health care system is prepared to respond to any scenario as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve.

“Upgrading and maintaining hospitals and community health infrastructure is one more way our government is ensuring Ontarians receive the exceptional care when they need it and closer to home,” said Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “These crucial investments will help build the capacity needed to end hallway health care, while ensuring our hospitals have the tools they need to improve the quality of care for patients and continue responding to COVID-19.”
