By GlobalDataThe 1.3 million-square-foot hospital will be built near Niagara Falls. It will provide a wide range of services, such as emergency, critical care, diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical treatments, along with Centres of Excellence in complex care, strokes and wellness in ageing.
The capacity of Niagara Health to offer inpatient treatments for the area will increase because of the new hospital’s 12-storey height and up to 469 beds.
The campus has been designed with the space and infrastructure to support new and developing healthcare technology and will have infection prevention and control techniques.
By assisting local businesses while under construction, the new hospital will have a long-term beneficial economic impact on Niagara, increasing employment and community growth.
EDIH will assemble the construction team, and NH will work with EDIH to encourage opportunities for regional firms to participate in the project.
Following an open, transparent, and competitive request for bids procedure that started in October 2021, EDIH was chosen after thorough evaluations.
