Windsor Regional Hospital is getting a $31-million investment from the Ontario government to fund the renovation and expansion of its cardiac catheterization lab.
A larger space of 17,000 square feet will support more vital cardiac procedures by adding a second catheterization table to reduce wait times for both urgent and elective care. Construction begins this summer and is expected to finish in July 2026.
“This is an important milestone for Windsor Regional Hospital,” said Chief of Staff Dr. Wassim Saad.” It will save lives and provide the necessary clinical space for our healthcare team. We appreciate the government’s commitment to patient care and safety.”
The hospital is one of 20 regional cardiac care centres in Ontario that provides a range of advanced cardiac services to diagnose and treat both common and complex heart and blood vessel problems.
A new hospital is also in the works for Windsor-Essex to consolidate and expand acute care services. The site preparation is currently under way for that project and construction is expected to begin in 2026.
