South Niagara Hospital

Building the future of care

This past year was full of significant achievements and project milestones for the South Niagara Hospital, highlighted by the beam signing ceremony in February 2026. More than 1,000 signatures were added to the beam in advance of the event by construction workers and Niagara Health team members before it was raised to the highest point of the building. We were honoured to be joined at the ceremony by Premier Doug Ford, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health Sylvia Jones, and Acting Minister of Infrastructure Todd McCarthy.
