Windsor Regional Hospital is a large multi-site health service organization serving a population of 400,000 people in Windsor and Essex County. Established in 1994 following a merger of Windsor Western Hospital Centre Inc. and Metropolitan General Hospital, Windsor Regional Hospital has more than 174 years of combined history in health care services. Providing acute and continuing care services with a total of 716 beds on various sites, Windsor Regional Hospital is one of the largest non-teaching hospitals in the Province of Ontario.
Windsor Regional Hospital operates from the Metropolitan Campus and the Western Campus. The Metropolitan Campus, home to acute care services (birthing, paediatrics, critical care, surgery, general medicine and emergency), recently expanded and renovated its facilities. Services provided at the Western Campus include specialized rehabilitation (in-patient and out-patient), complex continuing care, long term care, adult mental health (in-patient and out-patient), children’s mental health and a variety of outpatient programs as well as physicians’ private practices.
Windsor Regional Hospital’s Western Campus is about to embark on a major capital redevelopment to reduce patient wait times and enhance access to services for rehabilitation and longer-term mental health programs.
Highlights of the Windsor Regional Hospital capital redevelopment project include:
- new construction to provide a longer-term mental health building on the Western Campus that will be more than 75,000-square-feet
- increase in overall capacity making room for up to 65 longer-term mental health beds and up to 60 rehabilitation beds
- renovations of existing buildings, including exterior repairs, upgrades to the elevator that services the building and other existing infrastructure
- renovations to over 35,000 square feet of space in the Tower Building, which houses in-patient rehabilitation services
