Burlington’s Joseph Brant Hospital is receiving $361,399 from the provincial government for upgrades to infrastructure, such as ventilation work, and fire alarm upgrades.

The local hospital is one of 128 facilities across Ontario splitting approximately $125-million provided through the Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund.

“This investment will help Joseph Brant Hospital maintain a safe physical environment, allowing frontline staff to work effectively and efficiently and ultimately supporting the best interest of patients,” Burlington MPP Eleanor McMahon said.

“Together with the overall redevelopment of our community hospital, this infrastructure funding will enhance access to the right care, at the right time, in the right place for the people of Burlington.”
