  • complex continuing care;
  • rehabilitation;
  • renal dialysis;
  • acute inpatient care;
  • inpatient and outpatient mental health;
  • secondary and tertiary level programs; and
  • a new cancer clinic to provide chemotherapy administration, blood transfusions, procedures and clinical trials for oncology and patient care resources.

Infrastructure Ontario worked closely with Halton Healthcare Services to select the qualified teams.  Companies were selected based on their development, design, construction, financial, and facilities management capacity to undertake a project of this size and complexity.

“Today's announcement demonstrates the McGuinty government's commitment to move this project forward,” said Oakville MPP Kevin Flynn. “Oakville residents deserve a modern hospital with the programs, equipment and expertise which will allow patients to access the care they need close to home.”

“This is an important milestone on our journey to the New Oakville Hospital,” said John Oliver, President and CEO, Halton Healthcare Services. “The companies selected have put together highly qualified teams to work on the bids for our project. With proven track records in building large hospital facilities, we are confident that these teams will bring forward competitive bids with innovative design solutions that will result in the construction of the state-of-the-art healthcare facility that has been envisioned for Oakville.”

This investment will create spin off benefits in the community and region with supplies purchased from local businesses and potentially hundreds of construction workers will be employed during the project.

Infrastructure Ontario and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care are working with Halton Healthcare Services to develop the new replacement hospital, which will remain publicly owned, publicly controlled and publicly accountable. Infrastructure Ontario is a Crown corporation dedicated to managing some of the province's larger and more complex infrastructure renewal projects - ensuring they are built on time and on budget.
