Toronto (Feb 6) – The province is investing $794 million Toronto Western’s new 15-storey patient tower which will be completed in 2028. The University Health Network’s (UHN) state-of-the-art building on the hospital campus at Bathurst Street in downtown Toronto, was first announced in April 2022.
“This new tower will help provide modern and high-quality care to the more than 450,000 people who visit Toronto Western Hospital each year,” said Premier Doug Ford.
The new 15-storey tower will add 82 patient beds (including new critical care bed) and 20 state-of-the-art operating rooms, including three new image-guided operating rooms for complex neurosurgical and spinal procedures.
Additionally, it will have new single patient rooms that are also strategically designed to enhance the hospital’s infection control abilities to easily respond to future public health outbreaks.
The tower also includes modern digital infrastructure and a more comfortable space for family members and other visitors.
With nine sites and more than 18,500 staff, UHN consists of Toronto General Hospital, Toronto Western Hospital, Toronto Rehab, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, and The Michener Institute of Education.
Toronto Western Hospital acts as a community hospital as well as teaching hospital that receives patients from around the province.
