The Our Lady of Mercy patient care wing, an addition to the
St. Joseph's Health Centre on the Queensway just west of Roncesvalles, has reached its fourth and top floor on its way to a 2012 completion.
"It's a redevelopment project that's been on the go for several years now,' says Sabrina Divell, chief of corporate communications for the hospital. "It's going to bring expanded healthcare services to the Toronto west-end community we serve, including minimally invasive surgical suites, and its going to expand our paediatric services, including more labour and delivery rooms."
When finished,
the wing will add 130,000 square feet to the hospital, with 92 new beds and a three-storey underground parking structure that will be able to accommodate 300 cars.
The project, employing between 40 and 100 workers on site every day, is part of the province's $32.5-billion investment in health infrastructure, announced a year ago.
