Ontario is investing an additional $12.5 million to support the planning and construction of a new Brant Community Healthcare System hospital that will transform care for families in Brant County, Six Nations of the Grand River and surrounding communities.

Once opened, the new hospital would include:
- emergency services and intensive care
- medical imaging and other diagnostic services
- maternal, newborn and pediatric care programs
- mental health and addictions programs
- modernized medical and surgical inpatient units

This new state-of-the-art facility will expand capacity, improve services and reduce wait times, ensuring the hospital can continue to meet the needs of the rapidly growing region for years to come.
