The Government of Ontario announced the completion of Cambridge Memorial Hospital’s (CMH) redevelopment, helping people across Cambridge, North Dumfries and the Region of Waterloo connect to the care they need, when they need it, for years to come. The province invested over $220 million to support the project, which is the largest redevelopment in Cambridge Memorial Hospital’s history. “Across the province, our government is making historic investments in health care to build more hospitals, bring on more doctors and nurses, expand home and community care and reduce wait times,” said Premier Doug Ford. “This redevelopment of the Cambridge Memorial Hospital will connect more people in Cambridge and surrounding region to connected and convenient health care, close to home for years to come.” Over 400,000 square feet of hospital space was renovated and redeveloped to build a new patient care tower.
