Peel Memorial Centre for Integrated Health and Wellness – Phase II
Following the recent opening of Phase I of the Peel Memorial Centre for Integrated Health and Wellness in 2017, the Provincial government recently announced a commitment to fund Phase II of the expansion of Peel Memorial Centre into a full hospital.

Phase II is an integral part of the long-term planning process to increase in-patient capacity across Osler’s health system.
William Osler will be working with Infrastructure Ontario and the Goverment of Ontario to determine the exact timelines for the different phases of the project.
