Community helps shape vision for new hospital project
7-1-2022
Windsor Regional Hospital has established a Project Vision and set of Design Principles for the New Windsor/Essex Acute Care Hospital.
These will help guide decision-making throughout the project, and were developed with significant input from WRH staff and the community.
In November, members of the public were invited to participate in a survey and share their top priorities for the new hospital design. The survey ran from November 15 to December 10 and in that time, 978 submissions were received.
The results were analyzed for themes and used to shape the following Project Vision and Design Principles.
Project Vision
Create a state-of-the-art treatment and healing environment for all of those who we care for; a supportive workplace with the latest technologies to allow all of our staff to provide the most efficient and highest quality care, in a new hospital that supports wellbeing and has the capacity to provide timely, patient and family-centre care for generations to come.
Design Principles
- Outstanding Patient, Family, and Visitor Experience
- High Quality & Safe
- Operationally Efficient
- Flexible & Adaptive
- Technology-enabled service delivery
- Healthy, Safe & Inclusive Workplace
- Integrated Education, learning & Research
- Sustainable
Watch the video below and view the slide presentation for additional information on these principles, how they will be achieved, and related feedback from the survey.

Going forward there will be many more opportunities for hospital users and community members to learn more about the project and have their say in the new hospital plans.
In the coming weeks, we will introduce the community to members of the Project Management Team, share information about the project and planning process, and launch a series of program and service-specific virtual town halls where participants will have the opportunity to learn more about the work being done in specific areas and share feedback.
