Historic $15M gift from Solcz Family Foundation to New Windsor/Essex Acute Care Hospital

The Solcz Family Foundation has made a historic $15 million gift to the New Windsor/Essex Acute Care Hospital. This is the largest single gift ever made in the Windsor-Essex region.

The $15 million gift will provide critical funding for equipment and technologies at the New Windsor/Essex Acute Care Hospital. The New Windsor/Essex Acute Care Hospital will be the most significant healthcare transformation in Windsor/Essex history. This prolific project will lead into the development of a comprehensive, fully integrated health system in Windsor-Essex. The master plan for the new hospital incorporates innovations, learnings, best practices and technological advancements gleaned from the most advanced and successful hospitals in North America. Located on a 60-acre-site, the new facility will be more than 50 per cent larger than both of Windsor Regional Hospital’s existing campuses combined. Cost savings and efficiency will be realized with less movement back and forth between hospitals and reduced duplication of caregivers and equipment.

In recognition of the Solcz family’s exceptional gift, the Family Birthing and Paediatric Care Centre, as well as the Paediatric Emergency Zone, located within the Emergency Department, will be named after the Solcz Family Foundation.
