THE OPPORTUNITY
In September 2023, THP and the Government of Ontario announced that the future Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital (PGMH) at THP will be home to the first community-based Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Ontario.

This new hospital will be an integral part of an integrated system of care for children, women and those who identify outside the gender binary, including those who are members of equity-deserving groups, and will transform the health of our community for generations to come.
As we plan for this new build, we will continue on our integration journey to create one patient and one provider experience by temporarily collocating all birthing, postpartum, neonatal intensive care, and paediatric inpatient activity to CVH until the opening of the new hospital.
