Introduction
(What is the project trying to solve?)
The population of Kitchener-Waterloo (KW) area is growing rapidly, and the
existing population is aging.
We need state of the art facilities to help the growing population and support
their healthcare needs.
It is estimated that over the next 20 years- Almost 2 million people will need
healthcare facilities, senior population will increase use of hospitals by
170%, 500 more hospital beds will be needed.
Before Pandemic, KW area had only 1.1 bed per 1,000 people (which is
lower than Ontario’s average of 1.4 beds)
Furthermore, the wait times are more in KW area (usually over two hours).
The new project is trying to solve all these problems together.
(Building the Future of Care Together, 2023)
The Project
In KW area, Grand River Hospital and St. Mary’s General Hospital are
working together to renovate existing hospital facilities and establish a
new combined hospital.
The collaboration will help both the hospitals in serving the growing
community in a better way and efficiently.
The three main components of the project are: 1) A new acute care
hospital for KW area. 2) Repurposing the KW mid town campus of Grand
River hospital as urgent care centre. 3) Expanding the Freeport campus
of Grand River hospital for expanded capacity.
The project received a grant of $5 million from Government of Ontario in
April 2022.

An example of Collaboration
In this example of two hospitals coming together to
address healthcare issues, we can say it is
collaboration.
They are working together towards a common
goal, they both are responsible for an outcome.
Whereas cooperation is helping out others to
achieve their goals (which is not the case here).
Here, both the hospitals have equal contributions
and say in the matters of building a new hospital or
renovating the existing ones.
