Proud past
A century of delivering compassionate community-inspired care and Peel Memorial's bright future as Brampton's second hospital.
Bold future
On March 28, 2025, Osler was joined by Premier Doug Ford, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health Sylvia Jones, Members of Provincial Parliament, Mayor Patrick Brown, community partners and donors to break ground on the new Peel Memorial Hospital and celebrate a Century of Caring for our Community.
Peel Memorial Centre for Integrated Health and Wellness (Peel Memorial) will transform into Brampton’s second hospital and help increase hospital and health care capacity, supporting the delivery of world-class, people-centred care close to home.
The new Peel Memorial Hospital will include a new multi-story patient tower, a new purpose-built 24/7 Emergency Department and new and enhanced clinics – increasing our community’s health care capacity for years to come.
What’s next for Peel Memorial
Early construction is planned for Spring 2025. Activities will include building a temporary access road to support the next stages of construction. Request for Proposals (RFP) for the new Peel Memorial Hospital are now being evaluated by Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and Osler.
Meeting the needs of the community
The new hospital addresses the significant need for more specialized care for patients requiring longer hospital stays before they can safely return home or to care in the community. It will also help create more space for very sick patients at Brampton Civic Hospital.
When combined with the existing services already operating at the Peel Memorial site, the new hospital will offer many expanded and enhanced outpatient clinics and services for our growing community.

Honouring a century of care and community
On February 2, 2025, Peel Memorial celebrated its 100th anniversary – marking a century since its doors first opened to care for the community.
As the first of Osler’s five sites, Peel Memorial holds a special place in the hearts of many. It’s where families gave birth to their children, past and present colleagues started their careers; where community members generously volunteered their time; and where donors have family connections that go back to the hospital’s earliest days.
Join us in honouring a century of care and community at Peel Memorial.
Throughout the year, we will be sharing heart-warming stories in a series titled ‘People of Peel Memorial’. These stories will highlight Osler team members, patients and families, community members and donors, who have shaped the legacy of Peel Memorial.
Share your memories with us—whether it’s a moment of exceptional care, team members who made an impact or a memory that defines Peel Memorial’s legacy.

Frequently asked questions
The new Peel Memorial |
When will shovels be in the ground and when will the new Peel Memorial open its doors?Hospitals are among the most complex projects to design and build. Many stages of government planning and approvals are necessary to build a new hospital. Osler continues to proceed through the required capital development process with the Ministry of Health and IO. In October 2024, Osler and IO, in partnership with the Ontario government, marked a significant milestone by releasing the RFP to build the new Peel Memorial Hospital. Following a competitive Request for Qualifications (RFQ), four top-tier teams have now been shortlisted to submit proposals detailing how they would deliver the project through IO’s Progressive Design-Build contract model. Proposals are now being evaluated by IO and Osler, and the top-ranked team will then work collaboratively with IO and Osler during a Development Phase. Following the Development Phase, Osler may sign a construction contract with the successful team to deliver the project and start full construction on the new hospital tower. Early construction is anticipated to begin in Spring 2025, and the final design and construction timeline will be established in partnership with the successful proponent. As with any large-scale construction projects, key dates are subject to change, pending additional approvals. |
Local share |
Why is Osler asking the City of Brampton to help pay for the new Peel Memorial?The Ontario Government funds 90 per cent of hospital construction costs. Communities are responsible for the remaining 10 per cent, as well as 100 per cent of equipment, information technology, furniture and many other essentials. This is called the “local share”. In 2022, Brampton City Council approved a hospital levy towards the local share. Community support is critical to ensure hospitals can continue to meet current and future health care needs. Osler continues to work with the City of Brampton, William Osler Health System Foundation, and the community towards reaching local share requirements. |
Future hospital expansion |
What is Osler doing to advocate for a third hospital?As our community continues to grow, it’s essential that health care services grow too, and support from government partners remains essential for our community’s long-term health care capacity and infrastructure. As a leading hospital system in Ontario, Osler continues discussions with the Ontario Government and the City of Brampton on other hospital capacity priorities, including a third hospital in Brampton. In addition to transforming Peel Memorial and expanding cancer care services for our region, Osler is planning for the future redevelopment of Etobicoke General Hospital, establishing a research institute, and is partnering with Toronto Metropolitan University to open a new School of Medicine in Brampton. |
