With our physical hospital facility is nearly 100 years in some parts, with six expansions added over time to accommodate the growing needs of our population. LWDH has arrived at a point in time where a new facility is necessary. With reconciliation also motivating this comprehensive development, LWDH has worked in partnership with Ogimaawabiitong Kenora Chiefs Advisory, the Ontario Ministry of Health and our communities to plan a much-needed new hospital to best meet the needs of our area. In May 2025 the Province of Ontario announced a $50 million investment to move the new hospital project into the Detailed Design and Procurement phases.
