Stevenson Memorial Hospital in Alliston will receive funding from the province for Community Infrastructure Renewal as part of a broader $257 million investment to support critical infrastructure upgrades and repairs at 126 hospitals and 66 community health-based facilities across Ontario.

The announcement was made by Simcoe-Grey MPP Brian Saunderson on Wednesday, Nov. 26.

The funds to upgrade Stevenson total $434,721.

Funding is being delivered through the Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund and the Community Infrastructure Renewal Fund.

“Stevenson Memorial Hospital is a cornerstone of health care in our region,” said MPP Brian Saunderson. “This investment will help the hospital continue to deliver high-quality care while preparing for its next stage of growth. Our government remains committed to strengthening health care in Simcoe-Grey and supporting the dedicated people who provide compassionate care close to home.”

The HIRF and CIRF programs enable health-care system partners to address their urgent infrastructure needs, including upgrading or replacing roofs, windows, security systems, fire alarms and emergency generators.

This year, the Ontario government increased funding for these programs by 12.3 per cent.

“Our government is continuing to make historic investments to protect Ontario’s health-care system, ensuring that more people in Simcoe-Grey can connect to the care they need, where and when they need it,” said Sylvia Jones, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “Supporting infrastructure upgrades at Stevenson Memorial Hospital is another way our government is ensuring people can receive high-quality care, closer to home.”

Over the next 10 years, the province is investing nearly $60 billion in major health infrastructure. This is part of the Ontario 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.

“We are very grateful for MPP Saunderson and the Government of Ontario’s ongoing support of Stevenson Memorial Hospital. Infrastructure funding is so important as it helps us maintain our current facility while preliminary construction is underway in preparation for our new facility build.”
