Your New Hospital

Your New Hospital


May 15, 2025 marked an unforgettable milestone for supporters, staff, and the entire community. Ontario Premier Doug Ford, Northumberland–Peterborough South MPP David Piccini, along with area MPPs Ric Bresee and Tyler Allsopp, announced the Ontario Government is officially beginning the process to build a new Campbellford Memorial Hospital.

The exciting announcement included a vital planning grant and represented a significant step toward a new state-of-the-art facility that will transform health care for residents across Northumberland, Peterborough, and Hastings Counties. The new hospital will provide local families with easier access to high quality, modern care—right in their own community.

Once opened, the new hospital would include:

  • Expanded access to core programs and services, including a modernized Emergency Department and new inpatient medical wing
  • Increased inpatient capacity to meet the community’s future needs and allow more people to connect to care sooner
  • Enhanced infection prevention and control measures to ensure the health and safety of all patients
  • A new health care campus with a range of community support services to match the needs of the area’s growing and aging population.

Fundraising for the New Hospital

The Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation has been preparing for this moment for many years. In anticipation of the government’s approval, a Campaign Planning Committee was formed to lay the groundwork for a major fundraising initiative. This included developing a framework for a Campaign Cabinet, completing a feasibility study, and reviewing the Foundation’s staffing needs.

Thanks to this early preparation, the Foundation is ready to move forward quickly to raise the still to be determined community share of the new hospital’s construction costs and new equipment. While there is more work to do before the public campaign officially launches, stay tuned for exciting updates on this once-in-a-generation project.

Please contact John Russell, Executive Director, CMH Foundation at jrussell@cmh.ca or 705-632-2014 to discuss supporting or getting involved in the new hospital fundraising effort.


With the planning grant in hand, the hospital can now take the next major steps in making this vision a reality. This includes the development of a detailed plan for the new facility that reflects the needs of the region today and in the years to come. This will involve determining which programs and services the new hospital will offer. This will be shaped by formal input from a wide range of stakeholders—including patients, hospital staff, healthcare partners, local governments, Indigenous communities, and the public. The community engagement will be a key part of the planning process and the hospital is committed to maintaining open communication through this process.
