Today, Parry Sound-Muskoka MPP, Graydon Smith, announced another $6.6 million in new funding for local hospitals across the riding.
“Our government continues to put Parry Sound-Muskoka at the top of the priority list,” said MPP Graydon Smith. “This new funding is a testament to our steadfast commitment to ensure that rural and small town hospitals – like those in Parry Sound, Bracebridge and Huntsville – have the funding required to deliver excellent accessibility and quality of care.”
Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare (MAHC) will be receiving a base funding increase of $2,561,122, while the West Parry Sound Health Centre (WPSHC) will receive a $1,813,567 increase in base funding along with one-time funding of $2,186,433 to address in-year pressures.
“We’re now at over $527 million in funding for Parry Sound-Muskoka since June of 2022,” said MPP Smith. “No government has demonstrated itself as committed to the needs of our communities as the current provincial government. This new funding will make real, on-the-ground improvements to patient care and overall quality of life in Parry Sound-Muskoka.”
