Mississauga— Health care in Mississauga is on the brink of a major transformation as Trillium Health Partners (THP) unveiled an ambitious new strategic vision and plans for what will become Canada’s largest hospital.
The organization, which operates Mississauga Hospital, Credit Valley Hospital, and the Queensway Health Centre, announced its Plan to 2030, describing it as “a bold strategic roadmap to deliver a new kind of health care for a healthier community.” The plan focuses on improving care quality, reducing preventable hospitalizations, and ensuring that every resident experiences care that reflects their individual needs and circumstances.
Trillium Health Partners President and CEO Karli Farrow said the organization’s vision marks a shift away from illness-based systems toward one defined by community wellness. “We envision a future where care is proactive, personalized and digitally enabled — connecting hospital services with primary care, home care, long-term care and community supports,” she said. “We’re building a system that follows people through every stage of life.”
At the heart of the plan is the upcoming Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital, a 22-storey, 2.8-million-square-foot facility that will replace the existing Mississauga Hospital site at Hurontario Street and The Queensway. Once complete in 2033, the new hospital will be the largest in Canada, setting a national benchmark for innovation and integrated care.
Valued at an estimated $16 billion, the project will also include the Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children, a 200,000-square-foot facility dedicated entirely to women’s and children’s health — the first of its kind in Ontario. Meanwhile, the Gilgan Family Queensway Health Centre will also undergo significant upgrades as part of the expansion.
Hospital officials say these projects will serve one of Canada’s most diverse and fastest-growing populations. With Mississauga’s health-care demand projected to outpace all other Ontario hospitals over the next 20 years, THP’s long-term plan emphasizes early intervention, chronic-disease management, and advanced diagnostics to improve outcomes and reduce wait times.
By 2040, one in four Ontarians over age 30 is expected to require major hospital care for serious illness — a dramatic increase from one in eight in 2002. In response, THP’s strategy integrates research, innovation, and education into everyday care, ensuring that medical discoveries are rapidly translated into practice and that patients benefit directly from technological and scientific advances.
“These hospitals will be part of a seamless, digitally connected system of care, strengthened through partnerships, innovative technology and AI,” hospital leaders said in a statement.
The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital will stand as both a state-of-the-art health facility and a symbol of the city’s future — one defined by connected, compassionate, and community-driven health care.
