Mount Sinai Hospital completes historic redevelopment project

Aug 1, 2024 | Public | 0 comments

The largest redevelopment in Mount Sinai Hospital’s history is being celebrated in Toronto this week. The Ontario government invested $383 million into redesigning 323,000 square feet of space to build and expand an emergency department, operating rooms and an intensive care unit with 36 new beds.

The modernized space improves care for patients who are undergoing life-saving surgery, requiring emergency care, and for those with cancer. Mount Sinai expanded the medical and surgical inpatient unit by 28 beds and renovated the hospital kitchen and ambulatory oncology program. Two new operating rooms were added, while 19 were modernized.

“The expansion and modernization of Mount Sinai’s facilities was essential to provide new and expanded care for the people of Toronto, and specialized programs for all Ontarians,” said Dr. Gary Newton, president and CEO of Sinai Health.” We thank the Ontario government for this investment in enabling Sinai Health to create state-of-the-art spaces and services that will serve our communities today and in the future.”

The provincial government previously announced a $228-million investment to support critical infrastructure upgrades and repairs at 129 hospitals and 58 community health care facilities across Ontario.
