    Trillium HealthWorks is the largest health infrastructure renewal in Canada's history and will help shape the future of health care for our community and beyond. In addition to stronger community partnerships, Trillium HealthWorks will mean building The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital, and when the expansion of the Queensway Health Centre is completed, it will become The Gilgan Family Queensway Health Centre. It will mean more beds, shorter wait times, and greater specialization closer to home. More doctors, nurses, and support staff. Better technology to share information and be more connected and new spaces that meet the highest standards of infection prevention.But it is much more than that. Trillium HealthWorks means working together with our community to face the challenges of health care. It means saying goodbye to a system that leaves too many waiting, vulnerable, invisible, and alone. It means reinventing health care to make it work for everyone, leaving no one behind.
