Ontario Breaks Ground on Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital
June 25, 2025
- The new Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital will become the largest teaching hospital in Canada, will create one of the biggest emergency departments in the province, and will include the Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children.
- Once completed, the new hospital will include:
- New 22-storey patient care tower with over 350 new fully private beds, bringing the total number of beds to over 950
- Nine new state-of-the-art operating rooms, increasing surgical capacity and reducing wait times across the region
- Brand-new, 24-7 emergency department that will become one of the largest in the province to connect more people to a wide range of emergency and urgent medical care
- The Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children will span over 200,000 square feet and include one of the largest Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) in the province, designed to deliver specialized, high-acuity care for newborns and their families
- Advanced diagnostic imaging facilities, a new pharmacy and clinical laboratory
- The state-of-the-art hospital will bring 2,400 more health-care workers and approximately 400 additional doctors to the community, significantly increasing Trillium Health Partner’s ability to provide more patients and families with fast, high-quality services including cancer care, cardiac surgeries and geriatric mental health resources.
- Over the next 10 years, Ontario is investing nearly $60 billion on major health infrastructure. This is part of the government’s plan to get shovels in the ground on more than 50 major hospital projects across the province, which will deliver approximately 3,000 new hospital beds and build a connected, people-first health-care system.
- Through Your Health: A Plan for Connected and Convenient Care, the Ontario government is expanding and modernizing Ontario’s hospitals, making it faster and easier for people of all ages to connect to the high-quality care they need, where and when they need it.
