Ontario Premier Doug Ford has announced the government is pouring $14 billion into a new hospital in Mississauga that the province says is set to become the largest teaching hospital in Canada.
Ford attended a groundbreaking ceremony for Trillium Health Partners' 2.8-million-square-foot Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital, which will be three times the size of the existing Mississauga Hospital.
It is set to include a 22-storey patient care tower with more than 350 beds, nine new and 14 enhanced operating rooms, a large neonatal intensive care unit, and what the government says will be one of the largest emergency departments in the province.
