About the Bowmanville Hospital Redevelopment Project
As one of the fastest growing regions in Ontario, the Durham Region population is expected to double by 2041. To ensure our integrated, regional system of health can continue to meet the rapidly growing demands of our community, the reimagined Bowmanville Hospital will undergo a significant expansion, nearly doubling its current size.
Once complete, the redeveloped Bowmanville Hospital will usher in a new era of health care delivery in Durham Region with features including new ambulatory care clinics and a Haemodialysis Centre. It will also house a rooftop helipad to enable rapid access to emergency services, and Level 3 Critical Care capacity, the highest level of care provided in hospitals for critically ill or injured patients. The plans also include a new parking garage supporting more convenient access for patients, visitors, staff and volunteers, as well as additional green space to enhance the well-being of everyone in the community.
