Member of Provincial Parliament, David Piccini, announced on Friday that the Ontario Government is investing over $5.5 million in Northumberland Hills Hospital through multiple streams of funding.
The funding includes a net-new base funding increase of $2.1 million to support 10 permanent new beds for 2023 and 2024, support for expanded on-call service of over $1.5 million, and an overall hospital increase in funding of $1.8 million.
“The Ontario Government is building a stronger public health system, with care that is closer to home and more convenient for Ontarians,” said MPP Piccini. “This is another big increase in base funding for NHH that builds on historic investments we have made in this unbelievable hospital who boasts such remarkable staff who do great work. They deserve it.”
Northumberland Hills Hospital president and CEO Susan Walsh thanked MPP Piccini for the additional funding, remarking that it would allow them to better meet the needs of the aging population in the area.
