Mega Hospital Location Coming

The location for this region's long-awaited mega hospital will be released Thursday.

Officials with Windsor Regional Hospital will give reporters an in-depth look into the future of healthcare in Windsor-Essex Thursday morning.

By 3pm the site of the new acute care hospital will be revealed.

Back in March, the hospital's possible location was narrowed down to five contenders. A special subcommittee was tasked with analyzing potential sites.

Windsor Regional Hospital CEO David Musyj has indicated Windsor Airport didn't make the top five.

Throughout the process there has been some concern from the county about the level of care with one hospital.

Although Windsor's two hospitals will be consolidated, Leamington District Memorial Hospital will remain once the mega hospital opens.

Officials say the estimate $1.5-billion hospital will be up-and-running by 2024.
