The costs of the hospital’s operations are funded by the Ontario government, which has helped create access to some of the best health care in the world. However, as part of that policy, the government asks the community to participate by purchasing 100% of the equipment needs and 10% of capital renovations.
The hospital establishes committees that are comprised of physicians, directors and managers that develop the priorities in consultation with hospital staff and the community. The hospital then communicates those needs to the Foundation.
