NIAGARA FALLS, ONT. — Construction of the Niagara Falls Hospital is moving forward.
Dr. Eric Hoskins, Ontario’s minister of health and long-term care, was at the building site in Niagara Falls recently to make the announcement.
The new hospital will provide health care to over 434,000 people through state-of-the-art facilities designed to meet the region’s changing health care needs, states a release.
Patients will have access to emergency and urgent care, laboratory services, ambulatory clinics and full diagnostics including MRI, CT scans, ultrasounds and X-rays.
