Statement from Mayor Rick Maloney regarding the hospital redevelopment

BRACEBRIDGE, ON (May 11, 2024) – The Town of Bracebridge is committed to supporting the health and wellness of our community and we recognize the importance of a new hospital to our growing town.

Our local health care professionals are passionate about serving the community and providing fundamental care to everyone in Muskoka. In order for the hospital redevelopment plan to succeed, it must be endorsed by the doctors and key stakeholders in both north and south Muskoka. I encourage Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare to continue to work toward a solution that achieves this endorsement.

This redevelopment will support health care in Muskoka for generations. We have an opportunity to bring close to $1 billion in health care investment to Muskoka, and it is vital that we take the time to develop a plan that supports everyone in our municipality. I will continue to advocate for a plan that is best for Bracebridge and all of south Muskoka.
