Mississauga, ON – The Ontario government has announced funding for a major expansion of Trillium Health Centre’s Mississauga and Queensway sites.

The Trillium Health Centre project involves construction of a new west wing at the Mississauga site. It will accommodate expanded cardiac surgery, cardiac catheterization, cardiovascular intensive care, medical care, intensive care and coronary beds, as well as diagnostic and support services. At the Queensway site, ambulatory care facilities, urgent care and cancer detection and treatment will be expanded to house a new Ambulatory Cancer Detection and Treatment facility, replacing the temporary facilities currently located at the Mississauga site.

Construction is slated to start in 2006.
