MISSISSAUGA – Ontario has officially broken ground on the Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital, a landmark $14 billion project that will transform health care delivery across Peel Region and beyond. The 2.8-million-square-foot facility, led by Trillium Health Partners (THP), will triple the size of the existing Mississauga Hospital, adding more than 950 private beds and creating one of the largest emergency departments in the province.

Premier Doug Ford called the project “a stronger health-care system for decades to come,” promising thousands of new health-care jobs and expanded access to timely, specialized services, including cancer care, cardiac surgery, and geriatric mental health resources.

Deputy Premier and Health Minister Sylvia Jones said the new facility is “another example of investing in the health-care needs of growing communities, delivering the highest standard of care for generations to come.”

A Game-Changer for Health Care in Mississauga

Once complete, the new hospital will feature:

A 22-storey patient tower with over 950 fully private beds, including 350 new beds.
Nine new and 14 enhanced operating rooms, increasing surgical capacity and reducing wait times.
A state-of-the-art emergency department, designed to be one of Ontario’s largest.
The Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children, spanning 200,000 square feet with advanced Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU).
Expanded diagnostic imaging, a new pharmacy, and modern infection prevention measures.

The hospital will serve an estimated 2.2 million people in one of Ontario’s fastest-growing regions. Over the next decade, the province is investing nearly $60 billion in major hospital infrastructure projects, with the Mississauga development standing out as the largest in Canadian history.

“Once complete, it will feature the largest E.R. in Ontario, fully private rooms, modern birthing suites, and much more,” Kusendova-Bashta wrote, highlighting the scale and innovation behind the project.

Her comments underline the government’s push to design a people-first hospital, connecting primary care, clinics, and long-term care services under one integrated, digital framework.

Building the Future of Health Care

The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital is one of more than 50 major hospital projects underway in Ontario. Together, these developments aim to deliver roughly 3,000 new hospital beds, modernize outdated infrastructure, and ensure care is available where and when people need it.

Construction of the new facility is expected to create thousands of good-paying jobs, both during the build phase and through long-term health care employment once the hospital opens.

Karli Farrow, President and CEO of Trillium Health Partners, said the project “marks a new era of health care, made possible by government, donors, and community working together with a shared vision for the future.”
