www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Thursday, August 27, 2015 | 34 Oakville hospital gets $100K donation for rehab unit The new Oakville hospital recently received a $100,000 boost to help the rehabilitation of its patients. The donation came from the Glen Oaks Funeral Home and Cemetery. It will support the patients of the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Apartment, located in the Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit. The apartment is designed for patients and their families in preparation for their return home while maintaining the benefits and support of medical staff on hand, according to a media release. The patients of the ADL Apartment are typically dealing with a range of conditions, such as: orthopedic fractures, joint replacements, and stroke, pulmonary, cardiac or renal conditions. It was recently announced the new hospital, located on Dundas Street at Third Line, would retain its Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital (OTMH) name. The OTMH name stems from a decision taken in 1943 to honour the servicemen and servicewomen from the Oakville area in naming the local hospital. It also incorporated Oakville and "Trafalgar" in OTMH, a reference to the Township of Trafalgar, which merged with the Town of Oakville in the 1960's. Both municipalities' provided funding for the original hospital facility. "This will be the second facility to bear the historic name of OTMH," said Denise Hardenne, HHS president and CEO. "For more than 65 years, this name has stood as a living memorial to those who served in the Second World War and gave their lives for freedom. The name has also become synonymous with patient care excellence in Oakville and it will continue to do so." Construction of the new $2-billion facility reached substantial completion this month with an anticipated move-in date later this year. The 1.6-million-square-foot hospital, which will have a capacity for 457 inpatient beds and offers a full range of acute healthcare services, will officially open on Dec. 13.
