7 · OAKVILLE BEAVER Thursday, May 14, 2009 Something new is coming to Oakville Coming soon ­ a new hospital for Oakville. The Government of Ontario has approved the development of a new hospital on a 50-acre greenfield site at Third Line and Dundas Street. It's not everyday that you get to plan a hospital from the ground up. As a community, we have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to customize a hospital to our unique needs, to build a legacy for generations to come and to create a leading-edge model for community healthcare. The New Oakville Hospital will be much larger than the current facility to meet the urgent needs of our growing community. Focusing on patient-centred care, it will be designed to provide exceptional care and healing spaces to our patients and their families. With 80% singlepatient rooms, patients will enjoy increased privacy and infection control allowing for more intimate time with family and friends. The expansive 50-acre site also offers opportunities for patients and their families to get outside and enjoy the calm, quiet outdoor spaces specially designed for the new hospital. Equipped with the latest technology the new hospital will create a best practice environment for our physicians and healthcare professionals and attract new healthcare practitioners to our community. In addition, the New Oakville Hospital will feature new and expanded clinical services in important areas like cancer care and diagnostic imaging, so that Oakville residents can be diagnosed and treated in their own community. Building on the deep roots of our community, the New Oakville Hospital will take healthcare in Oakville to a new level.
