Redevelopment at Trillium

Mississauga - 100 Queensway

New Inpatient Wing

A warm, friendly environment for health and healing

"The new rooms in the New Inpatient Wing give patients in wheelchairs more independence," says Bill Alexander, pictured above with his wife, Ruth.

We are transforming our facilities to put your needs first. Our renovations
combine innovative architecture and the latest in technology. This is the largest construction project in our history and the improvements will transform our health centre to improve your quality of care.

Trillium’s new seven-storey patient wing, to open at our Mississauga location in
spring 2009, will house 135 beds in a warm, bright, barrier-free and easy-to-navigate environment.

Each room will feature:

• A wheelchair-accessible bathroom and ensuite shower
• Individual room access and privacy
• A window for every patient
• A welcoming environment for visitors

The New Inpatient Wing will be a home for our cancer, cardiac, medicine, rehabilitation and palliative care patients. Facilities will be ergonomically friendly and wireless access will enable staff to update patient records right at the bedside.

The building itself will use energy efficient materials, significantly reducing operating costs. Trillium is a recognized leader in sustainable energy practice; it is the first multi-site hospital in the world to be awarded ISO 14001 for its environmental standards.

Bill Alexander, former patient and community co-chair of Trillium’s Accessibility Committee, says, “Using a wheelchair to get around, I lost my independence when I was in hospital because my chair couldn’t fit through the bathroom door. In the new rooms, patients will be able to get into bed, go to the bathroom and even shower by themselves.”
