Hi there,

I'm writing about the proposed notice of motion regarding the Hospital listed for the November 9

Council meeting is. Windsor-Essex’s hospitals are in serious need of attention and action! Most buildings are now more than fifty years old. Some are even older. The place is falling apart and it's not a ""fix a few things here and there"" solution. That approach has costed us! In 2018, Windsor Regional Hospital spent more than $180,000 on roof repairs alone, diverting money that could’ve gone towards patient care. Boiler repairs have cost upwards of $680,000 over the past five years. And at present, the hospital’s list of infrastructure needs is approximately $300 million - a cost that will increase over time.

Best,

Sheila Hamilton
