The Reactivation Care Centre provides specialized care and support for patients in transition from a hospital to home or alternate care, including occupational therapy and physiotherapy.

Trillium Health Partners will receive three patient care units at the Reactivation Centre and has also received additional funding from the province to keep all of its beds open for patient care, said Alineh Haidery Senior Communications Advisor for THP.

In addition to receiving beds at the Reactivation Care Centre, Osler Health Care System also received funding for a new, four-storey patient tower at Etobicoke General Hospital, said Donna Harris, Manager, Public Relations and Digital Media at William Osler Health System.

“Osler will continue to work closely with community partners on identifying further opportunities, including work on co-designing a full Ontario Health Team (OHT) submission to the Ministry,” said Harris. “We will also engage with the ministry on planning for Peel Memorial Phase II to set a course for the next stage of care for the community.”
