Peel Memorial Hospital
Encyclopedia
Peel Memorial Hospital was a 367-bed acute care hospital
located in central Brampton
, Ontario
. PMH was founded in 1925 and became a part of the William Osler Health Centre
in 1998. It previously served approximately 400,000 residents in Brampton
and the surrounding areas. Over 96,832 patients were treated on an out-patient basis, another 70,446 residents used the 24/7 emergency department
and 22,889 patients were admitted for inpatient care (2001 estimate). The hospital employed over 1,800 professional and support personnel. There were 320 physicians as well as approximately 600 volunteers that contributed their services and fund raising efforts.
In 1997 the Health Services Restructuring Commission decided that the Georgetown and District Memorial Hospital, the Etobicoke General Hospital
, and PMH amalgamate into the William Osler Health Centre. In early 2006, the Brampton campus of the William Osler Health Centre was renamed back to Peel Memorial Hospital, as residents continued to use the old name, a cause of much confusion.
Since health care in Ontario is changing with these new Local Integrated Health Networks (LIHNs), Peel Memorial is now funded by the Central West LIHN, not the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care. The CEOs of the LIHNs have to sign "accountability agreements", effectively making them liable if they do not stay under budget.
