Increased Privacy
The new Oakville hospital has been uniquely designed with distinct separation of traffic types. Staff will have hallways and elevators for their use only, increasing patients’ privacy while traveling between departments.
More Single Patient Rooms
80% of inpatient rooms will be designated as single use. This results in more privacy, better infection control, and more opportunities for family to stay overnight with loved ones.

Quiet Outdoor Spaces
There will be specifically designated areas outdoor for patients, families and friends to enjoy together.
