Ontario Continuing to Support Orillia Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital

The Ontario government continues to build hospital capacity across the province by investing over $8.7 Million this year to support over 30 hospital beds in Orillia, ensuring people and families have ongoing access to high-quality care, close to home,

“I am thrilled to be a part of this significant investment in our community, which will directly enhance the healthcare services at Orillia Soldiers Memorial Hospital. With the addition of these 30 new hospital beds, we are addressing critical capacity needs and ensuring that residents of Orillia and surrounding areas have access to timely, high-quality care,” said Jill Dunlop, MPP for Simcoe North. “This funding will ease pressure on our healthcare professionals, reduce wait times, and provide a higher standard of care for those who need it most. Our community deserves nothing less, and this investment is a vital step towards strengthening our local healthcare system for the future.”

This funding is part of Ontario’s investment of over $257 million this year to support the continued operation of over 3,500 acute, post-acute and critical care beds across the province. This is another step the government is taking to improve access, expand capacity and decrease wait times at Ontario’s hospitals, building a health care system that better serves patients both now and into the future.

“Our government is making historic investments in Ontario’s hospitals to ensure people and families have access to fast and convenient care, where and when they need it,” said Sylvia Jones, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “This investment builds on our work to enhance capacity in our hospitals and will provide communities with the beds they need to deliver high-quality health care close to home, for years to come.”
