The Mississippi River Health Alliance reports that the Almonte General Hospital and Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital are getting a combined $2.8 million from Ontario’s Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund.
This investment will support essential upgrades that help keep hospital facilities safe, reliable, and welcoming for patients, families, and staff. AGH will receive $864,431, including one-time funding to address priority projects, while CPDMH will receive $1,958,862, with the majority dedicated to improving fire safety through new sprinkler systems and other critical upgrades.
“We are grateful for this investment in our hospitals,” said Brad Harrington, President & CEO of the Mississippi River Health Alliance. “These funds allow us to move forward with infrastructure projects that are essential to maintaining safe, modern, and reliable facilities for our patients, staff, medical staff, and community members.”
