The province has announced $7.1 million in funding for multiple hospitals in Southwestern Ontario.
All the funds will go towards building maintenance, repair, and renovations.
The multi-million dollar investment is part of a broader $182-million investment by the Ford Government.
Lambton-Kent-Middlesex MPP Monte McNaughton chose Four Counties Hospital in Newbury to announce investments in Windsor, Chatham-Kent and Essex, Lambton and Middlesex Counties.
While the announcement includes over $2 million for hospitals inside the City of Windsor, McNaughton focused on small-town hospitals during his announcement.
“It’s Premier Ford’s commitment to small-town hospitals to really send that these hospitals play an important role in our communities”.
Pointing to specific cases in Middlesex County, McNaughton highlighted a $1 million investment at Four Counties to put a new roof on the emergency wing and to a nearly identical investment at Strathroy Middlesex General Hospital to upgrade elevators.
