Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital recognized for innovation, excellence The Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships (CCPPP) recently recognized the Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital (OTMH) for the 2016 National Awards for Innovation and Excellence in Public-Private Partnerships (P3s).

"We are extremely proud of the new Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital and honoured by this award," said Bill Bailey, vice-president of Redevelopment at Halton Healthcare, which oversees OTMH.

The awards panel took note of how the new hospital is expected to act as a "core economic stimulant and centre for medical excellence as an `anchored tenant' for the developing north Oakville region." Panellists said they were particularly impressed with the design and technology innovations of the new hospital, and the community input that contributed to the success of the project.
