The Need
Why is a new Hospital
needed?
Grey Bruce Health Services Markdale needs a new Hospital
because the current facility, built over several decades
ago is now outdated and inefficient. The emergency department
is too small and lacks privacy. The Hospital’s
layout and design is increasingly at odds with the outpatient
delivery system now in place. Due to current space limitations
new services and technology cannot be implemented.

current building an option?
No. Renovation costs are estimated to be higher than
new construction. The current site is not large enough
for a major renovation.
How will I benefit from
the new Hospital?
You and your family will continue to have access to
quality emergency, ambulatory and inpatient health care
right in the community where you live or visit.
What will the new Hospital
Cost?
The total cost is $24 million. The proposed provincial
government portion is 50% leaving $12 million to be
raised locally.
Where will the new Hospital
be built?
The new Centre Grey Hospital will be built on the Grey
Gables Site on the south end of Markdale.
