A new hospital in Grimsby, Ont., will open in October, Hamilton Health Sciences says.

Construction of the new facility, which began in 2022, is about two months away from “substantial completion,” the hospital network said in a Wednesday news release. It’s set to open “on or around” Oct. 27.

Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) will “get the keys” to the new facility and can begin final preparations to open in late July, it said. Those will include moving equipment and supplies into the building and training workers. The hospital will open in phases with guidance from the province’s Ministry of Health.

EllisDon is the contractor working on the $224-million facility, which will be about 80 per cent larger than the existing one it’s replacing, HHS said. That hospital was built in 1946.
