Brampton Civic Hospital is an acute care hospital in Brampton, Ontario and part of the William Osler Health Centre along with the nearby Etobicoke General Hospital.

History

The 608-bed hospital[1] was designed Parkin Architects Limited in joint venture with Adamson Associates Architects and built by a joint venture of Carillion and EllisDon.[2] The Brampton Civic Hospital is one of Canada's first public hospitals to be designed, built, financed, and maintained under a private-public partnership. It opened in 2007 and replaces the Peel Memorial Hospital which previously served Brampton and the surrounding area.
