One year after breaking ground, concrete pouring is officially underway on the Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital and Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children.

Trillium Health Partners (THP) marked the milestone last week with a ceremonial coin toss. Members of the construction crew poured the coins into the foundation for the future hospital.

“This moment represents something very real for our community: we are laying the foundation for a new kind of health system in Mississauga and beyond,” said Karli Farrow, President and CEO, Trillium Health Partners. “More than just a building and beds, we are also redesigning care to be more connected, more digitally enabled and more centred on the needs of patients and families, improving access, strengthening partnerships across the system and delivering better outcomes for generations to come.”

Construction progress at the site continues to advance on track and on budget. Excavation is now nearly 80 percent complete, and seven tower cranes have been deployed to the site. Work on the concrete foundation, footings, walls and column work is underway, and new roundabout off Bronte College Court will open this summer to enable access to all entrances.

“This event highlights the outstanding progress our project team has made over the past year and recognizes their daily dedication to moving the work forward,” said EllisDon President & Chief Executive Officer, Kieran Hawe. “We are grateful for the continued effort and commitment that have brought us to this milestone. As we enter the next phase of construction, ED+PCL Healthcare Partners are excited to continue working with all key stakeholders and partners to safely deliver this landmark hospital to the highest standards for Trillium Health Partners and the Mississauga community.”

The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital and Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children are being designed as a modern hub of care that connects hospital services with primary care, home and community services, and long-term care to improve the patient experience.

Anchored within The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital, the Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children will be digitally enabled and connected across hospital, ambulatory, virtual and community-based services, helping women, children and families experience care as one coordinated system rather than a series of disconnected steps.

The project will make it easier for patients and families to get the care they need sooner, shorter waits, more specialized services closer to home and better access for a growing and diverse community.
