Support for Seniors

Ontario is investing $12 million to add new mental health beds in hospitals and to expand programs that support the mental health and well-being of seniors in Ontario. This includes $10.9 million to create additional 46 in-patient mental health beds in 16 hospitals. Through this funding, Trillium Health Partners in Mississauga has received $934,400 for 4 beds.
