Ontario to spend $14B building Canada's largest teaching hospital "Minister of Health Sylvia Jones says the investment is an "exciting milestone." Once open, the hospital will bring 2,400 more health-care workers and approximately 400 additional doctors to the community. "These new facilities will be more than just places for treatment. They will be hubs for advanced connected care that reaches far beyond the hospital walls, and they'll be fully linked to the entire health-care system," said Karli Farrow at the announcement Wednesday.

Ontario's investing a massive $14B to build Canada's biggest teaching hospital! 🎉 This game-changing project will boost healthcare & education across the province. #OntarioHealthcare #CanadianHealthcare #BigInvestment #TeachingHospital
