New Specialized Hospital Named After Local Family for Generous Donation – Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children

The Shah Family Foundation has made a generous donation that will have a lasting impact on the health and well-being of women and children in the Mississauga community. Trillium Health Partners (THP) and Trillium Health Partners Foundation (THPF) have announced that the new Women’s & Children’s Hospital will be named the Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children in recognition of this significant contribution.

This specialty hospital, set to be located at the site of the current Mississauga Hospital, will be purpose-built to cater to the unique needs of women, children, and their families.

The Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children will feature a full suite of specialized reproductive, gynecological, neonatal, and children’s health services, as well as modern birthing suites, postpartum beds, an expanded Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and dedicated mental health inpatient beds for children and youth. The hospital will also have state-of-the-art surgical suites and a dedicated paediatric zone in the Emergency Department.

“We are immensely grateful for this historic donation to create Ontario’s first Women’s and Children’s Hospital with the specialized services we need, closer to home,” said Caroline Riseboro, President and CEO of Trillium Health Partners Foundation. “The Shah Family Foundation understands how important health care for women and children is to fostering healthy families, healthier communities, and thriving cities.”
