Whitby Mayor Elizabeth Roy on Wednesday launched a campaign to pressure the province to bring a new hospital to her community.
She said the campaign was prompted by the Ford government's silence over the past two years to a proposal for a new hospital in the Durham Region.
The last update on the proposed hospital came back in January 2022, when Lakeridge Health, the region's health system and hospital network, established a panel that chose Whitby as their preferred construction site.
