Building the future of care at Welland Hospital

Welland Hospital Renovations

Niagara Health has approval from the provincial government to begin renovations at the Welland Hospital. These renovations prepare us for 2028, when the new South Niagara Hospital opens and we transition to a three-site hospital system model.

Renovation work at Welland Hospital is scheduled to begin in Spring 2027 and will be completed in phases leading up to 2028. This phased approach will help minimize disruption while important improvements are made throughout the hospital.

What renovations are coming?

Planned improvements include:

Increased single and double patient rooms

Significantly reduced triple patient rooms and elimination of quad rooms

Refreshed patient rooms

Enhanced safety and security for select areas

Infrastructure upgrades

Areas include:

  • Level 1, Woolcott wing, Complex Continuing Care unit
  • Level 2 east/west
  • Level 3 south (not including ICU)
  • Level 4 east/west
  • Level 6 east/west 

These changes allow us to:

  • Move more than 60 complex care beds to Welland
  • Move the 35-bed residential addictions treatment program to Welland in 2028

After 2028, Welland will:

  • Continue to be a cornerstone of Niagara's new three-site hospital system
  • Be home to the Residential Addictions' Treatment Program
  • Have an increase in complex care beds
  • Be a Centre of Excellence for Eye Care
