New Building Project...

WLMH is on the Infrastructure Ontario agenda for our new building project to commence in July 2011.

With the new building, our great hospital will be exceptional. The 91-bed new facility, planned on our current site, will ensure the WLMH is positioned to meet the evolving needs of our community. In addition to the high quality services already provided, the new building will include:

  • a dedicated out-patient care centre
  • bone densitometry, and
  • CT scanning services.
