Join us on a new beginning

for better healing today.

In October 2023, GBGH submitted its Stage 2 (of five) Capital Submission to the Ministry of Health requesting a

comprehensive acute mental health program for our community.

With our community’s support, we can raise the $20 million needed to address urgent needs at GBGH, including building
a 48,400-square foot acute-mental health wing.

This state-of-the-art mental health wing will house 24 beds, including 16 acute beds, and 8 beds for geriatric patients.

Along with in-patient services, the unit will provide day programing to help patients transition back into the community
and would be staffed by nurses, psychiatrists, counsellors, recreational and occupational therapists, crisis workers,
dieticians, psychometrists, teachers, clerical support, peer support workers and other health care providers.

Our goal is to tender this project for construction in 2025 and to welcome our first patients to a peaceful, supportive

environment, built for recovery, healing and care in 2027/28.
