Introduction:

Ontario is investing up to $501 million to support the construction of a new four-story patient care building at Milton District Hospital.

Features:

Through this expansion, patients in Milton will benefit from:

• • A new patient care building to offer priority clinical services, including critical care, maternal newborn, diagnostic imaging, emergency, surgery and inpatient beds
• • Increasing inpatient beds from 63 to 129, including more single-patient rooms for improved infection prevention and increased patient privacy
• • The addition of the hospital's first Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine
• • A Special Care Nursery with capacity for eight bassinettes in the Maternal Newborn Unit.
   

Construction at Milton District Hospital is now underway and is expected to be complete in the spring of 2017.

Ontario is making the largest infrastructure investment in Ontario's history -- more than $130 billion over 10 years, which will support more than 110,000 jobs per year on average, with projects such as roads, bridges, transit systems, schools and hospitals across the province.
