Southlake Regional Health Centre (formerly York County Hospital) is a hospital located in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada.
A private hospital was founded in 1932 and on August 22 the province granted a Charter of Incorporation for the York County Hospital Corporation. In 1924, it became a public hospital. In 1946, the Margaret Johnson Davis Wing opened with 55 beds. In 1956, the South Wing opened and a six storey tower opened in 1964. Capacity was increased to 420 beds with the opening of the East Wing in 1976. In 1999, a project to further expand the hospital was started. In 1999, the name of the hospital was changed from York County Hospital to Southlake Regional Health Centre. In 2006, the Medical Arts Building was added across the street from the hospital and a walkway has been constructed from this building to the hospital. In October 2008, Southlake Regional Health Centre was named one of Greater Toronto's Top Employers by Mediacorp Canada Inc., which was announced by the Toronto Star newspaper.[1]
The hospital is connected to the Southlake Regional Cancer Centre to its west, and to a multi-purpose building by an arch bridge to its north. The Cancer Centre, partnered with Princess Margaret Hospital, has been rated as a "world-class" facility.[2][3]
