Ontario is pouring $175-million into healthcare upgrades across the province, including here in Niagara.
Hotel Dieu Shaver is getting nearly one-and-a-half million dollars and Niagara Health is getting about the same both this year and next year.
The money will help with infrastructure support and upgrades.
Hotel Dieu Shaver CEO Lyne Pay says they are pleased with the investment and the government recognizing the important role of rehabilitation services.
Niagara Health President Lynn Guerriero says the improvements will make a difference for patients and families who are treated at Niagara Health.
Niagara West MPP Sam Oosterhoff says the COVID-19 outbreak shows how important it is to maintain and upgrade our local hospitals.
