Province invests in future of the Welland Hospital
We’re thrilled to see this exciting announcement from the Ontario Government and Niagara Health — a commitment to important and needed renovations at the Welland Hospital and a Planning Grant for the site’s future redevelopment and expansion!
We have talked to so many donors and community members about this and it is so great to finally be able to share the news of the announcement and commitment.
At the Niagara Health Foundation, we’re so proud to work alongside the Welland and surrounding communities to support healthcare close to home. Every conversation and donation helps move this vision forward and ensures continued access to compassionate care in Welland.
