Clerk’s Office, City of Windsor,

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

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. They are falling apart. 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. It’s time to stop throwing good money at these old structures and put those dollars towards state of the art facilities and equipment.

Please move forward with the proposed notice of motion in support of the new Windsor-Essex Hospitals System.

With thanks, Victoria Peck
