Overview
Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital (OTMH) has been a cornerstone of our community. For many residents born at OTMH or for those who have experienced outstanding medical care within its walls, OTMH is much more than another hospital, it’s part of the family; it’s part of our family.
Originally built to serve a population of only 17,000 almost 60 years ago, OTMH has seen multiple expansions over the years to accommodate growing demand. While each expansion provided more room, it also resulted in a fragmented structure where clinical services were located wherever space was available.
Building on the deep roots of our community, the New Oakville Hospital will take healthcare in Oakville to a new level. Situated on a 50-acre site, located at Third Line and Dundas Street, the New Hospital will be more than double the current size of the current facility to meet the urgent needs of our community’s growing and aging population.
The New Hospital will:
- Provide patient and family-centred care in a warm, friendly atmosphere
- Offer 80% single rooms for privacy and infection control standards
- Be equipped with the latest technology
- Offer new and expanded services, like cancer care and diagnostic imaging
- Be on the leading edge of design and environmental sustainability
- Set a benchmark for healthcare services in a community hospital
The benefits will be far-reaching, most immediately for our residents who will have access to the personalized care that we have always valued close to home, but within an innovative centre for medical excellence.
Now is the time for Oakville’s extraordinary community, renowned for its generosity and commitment, to come together and help the Oakville Hospital Foundation achieve its $60 million campaign goal. With your help and support, we can build and equip a remarkable hospital that will respond to emergencies, mend broken bones, administer cancer care and promote all aspects of health in our local community.
We encourage you to join us and become involved with your New Hospital. We need your support for this unique, once in a lifetime opportunity. There are many ways for you, your family, your organization or company, your school or local community group to become involved with this historic opportunity. Please contact Sheilaah Guthrie at the Foundation at 905-845-2571 ext 6382 for additional information.
A Visionary Hospital. For Life. For Growth. For Oakville.

“Oakville citizens should be united in reaching the goals that are integral to their community, and what could be more essential than a New Hospital that can meet the needs of our growing population and provide the highest standards and state-of-the-art healthcare.”
Eve Willis, Campaign Co-Chair
“The need for a New Oakville Hospital becomes more apparent every day. The existing site and facility can no longer accommodate any expansion to best serve the growing population of our town. We are in a period of renewal and planning for our growth to meet our long term needs. The New Oakville Hospital clearly signals our commitment to the community to provide the very best health care possible.”
Bill Cooper, Campaign Co-Chair
