The new Markdale Hospital is set to open on September 24, 2023.
Brightshores Health System invited everyone to a "Come and Go" event on the new facility's grounds on September 15 from 11-2 p.m. The lobby door will be available with limited access into the new facility while cleaning and final preparations are made for the first patients.
“It’s an incredibly exciting time for our organization, the Markdale Community, and all Grey Bruce residents,” said Brightshores Health System President and CEO Gary Sims. “With the opening of this new state of the art facility, with updated equipment and the space to grow to meet the needs of this growing community, the future is very bright for local healthcare.”
The new Emergency Department doors will open at 6:00 a.m. and will be fully operational. On September 24, inpatients will be transferred from the current hospital to the new facility, and the current Markdale Hospital will permanently close its doors once the emergency department is cleared.
“Congratulations to the entire Markdale Community, Foundations, staff and all stakeholders who have reached this tremendous milestone,” said Brightshores Health System Board Chair Jo Flewwelling. “The new Markdale facility positions the community for access to care now and into the foreseeable future.”
Additional information on any temporary transitional impacts to outpatient and other clinical services will be communicated closer to the opening date.
