Campus Transformation
Improving Access to Health Care
Our demographics are changing, and so are the health care needs of our population. Today, people over 65 represent 17% of the population but 58% of all hospital stays.
West Park is transforming its campus to meet the needs of an aging population. In April 2024 we opened our leading-edge new hospital building, the centre of a redevelopment that is improving access to our in-demand rehabilitative programs and enabling us to transform how we deliver care.
With our new facility, there are 704 beds on our campus providing integrated rehabilitation, complex care and long-term care services, and reactivation care for people who are awaiting a space in an alternate care facility. We have doubled our outpatient capacity and are adding new programs, including a Geriatric Day Program to help seniors remain healthy and living at home longer.
We treat some of the most intricate and challenging medical cases in Ontario. Our membership in the University Health Network of hospitals is increasing the range and scope of programs available to our most complex patients, and enabling us to expand our clinical research program to improve care.
Our new hospital has been designed to meet the needs of patients, providing increased comfort and privacy, and specialized therapy gyms on each floor to maximize rehabilitation time. Large windows flood the building with natural light, and patients have access to terraces on each floor – helping them connect to the healing power of nature.
West Park’s redevelopment will continue over the next several years with the creation of outdoor therapeutic environments that will better support patients as they recover. In addition, planning is underway for a second long-term care centre on the site.
The $80 million Get Your Life Back Campaign will continue to support West Park’s bold transformation, as we build a model of care to meet the needs of patients now, and in the decades to come.
