Trillium HealthWorks is the largest health infrastructure renewal in Canada’s history and will help shape the future of health care for our community and beyond. In addition to stronger community partnerships, Trillium HealthWorks will mean building The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital, The Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children and when the expansion of the Queensway Health Centre is completed, it will become The Gilgan Family Queensway Health Centre.
