Stevenson Memorial Hospital will be upgrading and repairing its infrastructure after receiving funding from the provincial government.

The local hospital announced in a press release on Tuesday (July 16) that it has received $253,160 from the provincial government.

“Alliston and New Tecumseth continue to grow, and with that growth, more people will rely on and expect to receive world-class healthcare,” said Simcoe-Grey MPP Brian Saunderson. “Our government is committed to making improvements to this hospital.”

The funding given to Stevenson Memorial Hospital will help health system partners to address urgent infrastructure needs such as upgrading or replacing roofs, windows, security and fire alarm systems and emergency generators to ensure people can continue to connect to health care in safe, modern facilities.

The Ontario government is investing more than $228 million this year to support critical infrastructure upgrades and repairs at 129 hospitals and 58 community health care facilities across the province.

“Under the leadership of Premier Ford, our government is making record investments in the health care system to ensure people are able to access care at state-of-the-art hospitals and community health providers,” said Sylvia Jones, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “This year our government is investing an additional $20 million to allow facilities to modernize and make critical upgrades, ensuring people can connect to the care they need, when they need it, close to home.”
