Ontario Breaks Ground on New Reactivation Care Centre in Hamilton
Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) CEO Tracey MacArthur joined Deputy Premier and Minister of Health Sylvia Jones and Hamilton’s health care leaders to announce the construction of a new Reactivation Care Centre at St. Joseph’s Villa and a $16 million investment to support the project.
The new facility, in partnership with St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton (SJHH) and HHS, will provide people who no longer require hospital care with restorative and specialty care, ensuring they are receiving the right care, in the right place. Once opened, the new 28,000 square-feet centre will include 57 transitional care beds across three units to connect people to a variety of reactivation care needs, including complex care, dementia care services and behavioural support services. The new facility will also have four rooms with dialysis services, allowing more patients to access convenient, on-site hemodialysis treatment
“Health care in our region will be more accessible for all because of this initiative. More capacity in our region to transition patients out of hospital helps our services and teams function more effectively. Hamilton Health Sciences is proud to be a partner in this vital project,” said Tracey MacArthur.
