Stakeholder input key to Toronto hospital project

In an article that first appeared in Canadian Healthcare Facilities, Hannah Ward, the hospital’s coordinator, Corporate Communications and Redevelopment, reports on a significant redevelopment at the 89-year-old campus at east Toronto’s Michael Garron Hospital.

It’s time to give east Toronto the  healthcare facility it needs and deserves. After a decade in the making, Michael Garron Hospital (MGH) marked a major milestone this spring when it broke ground on the new Ken and Marilyn Thomson Patient Care Centre and redevelopment of its 89-year-old hospital campus.  Part  of the Toronto  East Health  Network,  MGH is a vibrant  community  teaching  hospital that serves more than 400,000 people in 22 distinct neighbourhoods. The hospital (formerly Toronto East General) has delivered high quality, patient-centred healthcare services since 1929, to families along the continuum of care, from welcoming a new life to facing end-of-life.

Over the years, MGH has continually renewed its commitment to community by adapting its programmes, services, and campus, to meet the evolving needs of the diverse population it serves. The hospital now, however, finds itself in a position where it can no longer rely on expansion. “It’s exciting to transform the campus into a state-of-the-art facility that reflects the hospital’s excellence and provides an environment the east Toronto community deserves,” says MGH director of redevelopment, Kirsten Martin.
