About Trillium Health Centre - Mississauga Site
Trillium Health Centre - Mississauga
The focal point for our inpatient services, Trillium - Mississauga is located in the heart of Mississauga's south end, just a few minutes north of Lake Ontario, and south of City Centre.
With over 120,000 visits annually, the 24-hour Emergency Centre at Trillium - Mississauga is the largest in Canada, one of the busiest in the country, and frequently the front door to many of our regional programs including Stroke, Neurosurgery, Cardiac and Sexual Assault & Domestic Violence Services. Our Mississauga location also houses the largest concentration of critical care services in Canada with modern facilities offering bright and roomy patient rooms for Intensive Care, Cardiac Surgery Intensive Care and Coronary Care.
With a specialized focus on women's and children's health services, our Colonel Harland Sanders Family Care Centre, the first of its kind to be located in a hospital setting in Canada, brings all these services together under one roof. It's child-friendly treatment and waiting room areas feature interactive wall décor, an innovative playroom and bright colours designed with input from children in the community. We also have the largest birthing centre in the region with over 4,000 births annually.
History Of Trillium Health Centre - Mississauga Site
In July 1997, the Health Services Restructuring Commission directed the Mississauga Hospital and Queensway General Hospital to merge to become a new hospital corporation. By April 1, 1998, the two hospitals had successfully amalgamated.
As the new organization took shape, the Board of Directors recognized the need to introduce a new name for the two-site hospital that better reflected its mandate and vision. The Board opened up a naming competition to the community, inviting residents to submit their proposals for a new identity. More than 800 suggestions were received, including several variations on the name 'Trillium'.
On October 6, 1998, Trillium Health Centre unveiled its new name and visual identity at special ceremonies at each hospital location, launching the beginning of a bright future in health care for Mississauga and West Toronto residents.
