Improving Health Care For Families At Toronto Grace Health Centre
McGuinty Government Providing Quality Services Closer To Home  

Ontario is supporting major improvements at Toronto Grace Health Centre that will give more Torontonians better access to state-of-the-art health care, closer to home.

Planning is underway for a redevelopment project that will improve air quality for patients and staff, upgrade safety in patient rooms, washrooms and showers, and renovate the main entrance that will modernize and improve patient access to programs and services. 

Investing in modern and efficient hospitals that support the needs of our aging and diverse population is part of Building Together, Ontario’s long-term infrastructure plan. Ontario will continue to make significant investments in public infrastructure over the next decade to improve the quality of life for families.
