Today, William Osler Health System (Osler) welcomed the Premier of Ontario, Hon. Doug Ford, and other dignitaries to Peel Memorial Centre for Integrated Health and Wellness (Peel Memorial) as the Ontario Government announced a $21 million investment that will help Osler build the future of hospital services in Brampton:
- $18 million to continue planning for the transformation of Peel Memorial into Brampton’s new hospital with a new 24/7 emergency department.
- $3 million to support planning for expanded cancer care services at Brampton Civic Hospital.
Joining in the momentous occasion were Hon. Prabmeet Sarkaria, President of the Treasury Board and MPP Brampton South; Deputy Premier and Minister of Health, Hon. Christine Elliott; Amarjot Sandhu, Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Infrastructure and MPP Brampton West; and Brampton’s Deputy Mayors Pat Fortini and Martin Medeiros.
“Today’s announcement means that we are one significant step closer to increased hospital and health care capacity for our community,” said Geoffrey Ritchie, Chair, William Osler Health System Board of Directors. “Building the next phase of Peel Memorial and expanding cancer care services will increase hospital capacity in Brampton, and will elevate Osler’s long-standing tradition of exceptional health care. This is excellent news for the community.”
The transformation of Peel Memorial will include the construction of a new tower for inpatient beds and the expansion of the existing Urgent Care Centre to 24/7 operations later this year, setting the stage for a second full Emergency Department in Brampton.

A new Ontario Builds sign is being installed at Peel Memorial to mark the location of the new patient tower, as well as continued progress made in development of the new Peel Memorial Hospital.
Today’s announcement is also an important step forward for cancer care and enables Osler to continue planning expansion of its cancer care program in order to meet the needs of the fast-growing community. This will bring more services, including radiation treatment that is currently not available in Brampton, closer to home for the community.
Osler is profoundly grateful to the Ontario Government, City of Brampton, Osler Foundation, donors, and the community for their continued support as it works to increase hospital and health care capacity to benefit people across the region for years to come.
