Windsor Hospital Corporation history

A Cancer Clinic and Department of Neo-plastic Services was established in 1935.

In 1938 Windsor Hospital moved to a fireproof building on Prospect Ave., where it was renamed Prospect Sanitarium.

The hospital’s original building came down in the 1963 to make way for the current structure at the same location which today is one of two of Windsor’s predominant hospital centres.

Area residents pledged over $600,000 for the new hospital, which opened in 1972.

A major expansion of the Met Campus occurred in 1974 with the construction of an eight-story tower to accommodate 500-beds.

METROPOLITAN CAMPUS: 1995 Lens Avenue, Windsor, ON N8W 1L9

A major expansion was completed in 2005 resulting in 420,000 sq. ft. of new and renovated space.

Since 2007, the Hospital has operated Ottauquechee Health Center in Woodstock, Vermont, providing outpatient primary and specialty care to Woodstock-area residents and visitors.

With the expansion came the state-of-the-art, CARF-accredited, Rehabilitation Center at Mt. It has taken the lead in community education programs and sponsored the Windsor Community Health Initiative—work that earned it the American Hospital Association’s prestigious Foster G. McGaw Prize for Excellence in Community Service in 2011.

In 2013, the 30-bed nursing home closed, making it possible for expansion of the Rehabilitation unit as the Hospital launched “Positively Vital”, a four-year capital campaign to help fund an array of upgrades across the organization.
