The Windsor-Essex Hospitals System is a, once-in-a-lifetime, major system reform that will transform hospital services in Windsor-Essex. The collaborative and local plan will provide patients the right care, in the right place, at the right time, for generations to come. It includes the integration of acute care in a new state-of-the-art acute care hospital; that will replace existing outdated and undersized facilities, the integration of tertiary, acute and community based mental health care, and a Centre of Mental Health Excellence.
