 Grand River Hospital is one of Ontario's largest community hospitals employing approximately
2,300 highly skilled and dedicated employees. The Kitchener-Waterloo Hospital was first established in 1895 as the Berlin-Waterloo
Hospital. Seventy patients were cared for in its first year. The 30-bed
facility had one operating room, a handful of nurses, and a dozen
physicians. The hospital's School of Nursing opened the following year
and trained more than 1400 nurses before closing 80 years later. While Grand River Hospital has a rich history of quality care-giving, the future will be even more impressive including, a new inpatient oncology unit with an increase of six patient beds, a new ambulatory care centre, a new mental health unit, which includes, a crisis assessment facility, day hospital and child and an adolescent inpatient psychiatry unit. There are plans for a spacious intensive care unit with an additional 8 patient beds, a new brachytherapy surgical suite to treat appropriate cancer patients by administering radiation internally and a new and expanded fracture clinic. Grand River Hospital also includes another location at Freeport Hospital which first began as a tuberculosis sanatorium. Following medical advances and altered treatment of tuberculosis after World War II, Freeport began admitting chronic care and rehabilitation patients. During the 1960s, the need for chronic care beds continued to grow resulting in the addition of more beds, and by 1970 the Freeport Sanatorium became Freeport Hospital. Freeport continues to provide and focus on chronic care today as an extension of Grand River Hospital.
