News, Projects
Pomerleau Healthcare Partners (PHP) is pleased to announce that the Weeneebayko Area Health Authority (WAHA) Redevelopment Project has reached Financial Close and PHP has been awarded the contract to design, build, and finance the project. The team was selected by WAHA and Infrastructure Ontario (IO) to help expand and improve access to primary health care services in Moosonee, Moose Factory Island and along Ontario’s James Bay Coast. This project is being delivered using a progressive Public-Private Partnership (P3) Design Build Finance (DBF) model.
Once complete, the new regional health campus will allow WAHA to expand its health promotion and capacity building programs, better accommodate primary health care services and provide improved access to Indigenous communities living along Ontario’s James Bay and Hudson Bay coasts. The project includes an acute care hospital, a larger 24-hour emergency department, a new 32-bed Elder Care Lodge, modern state-of-the-art suites, expanded mental health and addictions programming, residences for staff, and a hostel for patients and visitors.
We are honored to be selected to bring much needed and improved healthcare facilities for WAHA and all the communities it serves along the James Bay and Hudson Bay coasts. We bring decades of experience in delivering complex and revitalizing healthcare projects. We look forward to working together with WAHA, Infrastructure Ontario, and the local Indigenous communities to deliver another successful project.
On behalf of everyone at Infrastructure Ontario, I’d like to congratulate WAHA, Pomerleau Healthcare Partners and the provincial and federal governments on this truly one-of-a-kind project that will transform healthcare in the north. This milestone for the WAHA Redevelopment Project marks the close of procurement for our first progressive P3 DBF project – and the first to complete the development phase. As the next phase of construction kicks off, we’re committed to working with communities and stakeholders to get critical healthcare infrastructure like this project built.
We are all committed to creating the most state-of-the-art regional healthcare campus possible and we're excited to reach this milestone in our redevelopment project . Our entire organization is eager to begin the next phase of construction which will drive us forward in ensuring the health and well-being of people in our region.
