BRAMPTON, March 29, 2025 — Dignitaries from the Government of Ontario, the City of Brampton and William Osler Health System celebrated the groundbreaking of Osler’s new Peel Memorial Hospital on Friday. This new hospital will add new and enhanced services in state-of-the-art facilities, such as a 24-hour emergency department, to connect Brampton and Peel Region’s rapidly growing community to the care they need.
“I’m thrilled to celebrate this incredible milestone as we get shovels in the ground for the new Peel Memorial Hospital, which will support improved care and continued growth in Brampton, throughout Peel Region and beyond,” said Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario. “The investments we are making across the province will help transform health care, with $50 billion supporting more than 50 hospital projects across Ontario. It’s all part of our plan to ensure people across the province can get the high-quality, connected and convenient care they need, when and where they need it.”
To date, the Ontario government has invested nearly $46.8 million in capital planning funding to build the new Peel Memorial Hospital. Once opened, it will significantly increase Osler’s ability to connect more people to care, including additional specialized care for patients who require longer hospital stays before safely transitioning home or to community care.
“Our government is making historic investments in Ontario’s hospitals to connect more people to world-class hospital care,” said Sylvia Jones, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “As we celebrate 100 years of Peel Memorial’s exceptional service to the community, we are excited to mark the next step in the transformation of Peel Memorial that will provide families in the Brampton area with high-quality care, close to home, for years to come.”
Once completed, the new hospital will include:
- A new multi-storey patient tower with up to 250 inpatient beds and the ability to build additional beds in the future
- A new, state-of-the-art, 24/7 emergency department to connect more people to a wide range of emergency and urgent medical care
- Expanded post-acute care services, which will free up more space for additional acute care beds at Brampton Civic Hospital
- New and enhanced mental health and addictions programs, including medically assisted withdrawal management
- New and enhanced services for seniors, including dementia care
- Rehabilitation and complex continuing care
- Nine new inpatient dialysis stations and outpatient services
- New and enhanced outpatient clinics and services, including a fracture clinic.
“Thank you to everyone who worked tirelessly to make today a reality. Your passion and hard work are at the heart of this project. I am deeply grateful to Premier Ford, Minister Jones, our local MPPs and all our provincial partners. I also want to recognize my Council colleagues and the amazing staff and dedicated volunteers across the Osler family,” said Patrick Brown, Mayor of Brampton. “Our new second hospital will not only expand access to health care, but it fulfills a sacred promise to our families, our friends and our neighbours to deliver on building a brighter and healthier future for all,” added Mayor Brown.
