Hospital Expansion
In August 2011 Halton Healthcare Services received approval from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care for an expansion at Milton District Hospital. Planning for this much needed expansion is currently underway.
Also in 2011, HHS signed an affiliation agreement with McMaster University that will see medical residents and students receive training at all three of its community hospitals - training the next generation of physicians who will work at the hospital.
