Mississauga and Greater Toronto Area Community Raise a Record $337,220 in Support of Canada’s Largest Hospital Build

Trillium Health Partners Foundation’s sold-out Golf Classic celebrated its 30^th anniversary raising funds for Trillium Health Partners – a hospital system consisting of Mississauga Hospital, Credit Valley Hospital, and Queensway Health Centre.

Participants gathered at the Credit Valley Golf and Country Club in Mississauga on Monday, June 22^nd and raised a record-breaking $337,220 for Trillium Health Partners Foundation at its 30^th annual Golf Classic. 

Proceeds from this year’s milestone anniversary Golf Classic will support three landmark initiatives shaping the future of care: The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital, which will be Canada’s largest hospital, the future Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children, which will be Ontario’s first hospital dedicated to women’s and children’s health, and the redevelopment of The Gilgan Family Queensway Health Centre, expanding rehabilitation and complex continuing care for the region.

The sold-out event drew 144 participants. To date, the event has raised $4.88 million for Trillium Health Partners. 

“Golf Classic has been with us for 30 years, and support for this event has never wavered,” says Caroline Riseboro, President and CEO, Trillium Health Partners Foundation. “Our teams, sponsors, committee and volunteers show up every year with enthusiasm for the game of golf and a generous spirit for fundraising. That’s what has carried us this far – and it is what will carry us forward as we take on the most ambitious project in our history: building Canada’s largest, most advanced hospital.” 

Trillium Health Partners serves a community that is expected to grow by 45% by 2041 – from 2.2 million to 3.2 million people – facing more growth in demand than any other hospital in Ontario.

Upon completion, The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital will be a full replacement of the existing Mississauga Hospital. It will feature 950 beds in all private rooms, more operating rooms, shorter wait times, and the largest Emergency Department in Canada. It will include advanced diagnostic imaging facilities, a new pharmacy and clinical laboratory, and enable greater specialization closer to home with more doctors, nurses and support staff. 

The future Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children will be Ontario’s first hospital devoted entirely to women and children’s health. It will feature dedicated mental health inpatient beds for children and youth – the first of its kind in Mississauga, a full suite of highly-specialized reproductive, gynecological and children’s health services, 31 birthing suites and one of the largest neonatal intensive care units in Ontario.

The redevelopment of The Gilgan Family Queensway Health Centre will significantly expand access to cutting-edge rehabilitation and complex continuing care as Ontario’s #1 orthopaedic centre. Key features will include bright therapy spaces on every floor, purpose-built areas for group rehabilitation, outdoor therapy areas, advanced digital technology to support patient-centred care and faster clinical decision-making, modern environments and 100 per cent private rooms.
