WE SEE the gaps, and
              WE       SEE



              we’re ready to fill them.






              In October 2023, GBGH submitted its Stage 2 Capital Submission to the Ministry of Health, requesting a comprehensive acute mental health

              program for our community. With your support, we can raise the $20 million needed to build a 48,400-square-foot acute mental health wing—a
              peaceful, supportive space designed for healing and recovery.


              This state-of-the-art facility will include:










                        24 beds, including 16            Day programming to               A full team of mental health professionals: nurses,
                        acute care beds and 8            support transition back          psychiatrists, counsellors, therapists, crisis workers,
                        beds for geriatric patients      into the community.              peer support, and more.




              Once we receive approval from the Ministry of Health, we anticipate beginning construction within a year, and welcoming patients two years later.
