Building a new hospital is one of the largest and most significant projects a hospital organization can undertake. For the community, a new hospital provides great benefits that extend beyond care.

A new hospital will:

  • improve access to healthcare 
  • provide the most modern facilities and technology
  • enhance capacity
  • strengthen the local economy and provide new jobs  
  • increase emergency preparedness
  • increase community well-being
  • attract healthcare professionals 

A new hospital is truly a transformative investment in health, safety, and community development.

BCHS is committed to community engagement and leveraging the expertise of internal team members and experts to define our collective vision for a new hospital in Brantford-Brant.

Project Vision and Guiding Principles

BCHS will be recognized for excellence in healthcare – where every patient and family feels welcome and valued, every team member is empowered and supported, and every connection strengthens the fabric of the diverse communities we serve.
