Brant Community Healthcare System

BCHS is proud to announce the official opening of the newly renovated Emergency Department Waiting Room and Triage areas at Brantford General Hospital!

After nearly 10 months of renovation work, these modern, purpose-built spaces are now open for patient care, representing a significant milestone in our Emergency Department Renovation Improvement Project.

We would like to sincerely thank the Ontario Ministry of Health, Brant Community Healthcare System Foundation and its donors, our BCHS Redevelopment and construction teams, our Emergency Department care teams and staff, and all those involved with the project who have worked tirelessly to turn these spaces into a reality.

In advance of the newly renovated Emergency Department (ED) Waiting Room and Triage areas opening for patient care on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, BCHS recently welcomed our community Police, Fire, and EMS teams to tour the newly renovated spaces.

Familiarizing emergency personnel with the modern layout and updated patient flow processes ensures our emergency response network is integrated and ready to deliver seamless care.

This is an exciting step towards reimaging our ED and we thank you for your continued support and cooperation as we work to serve you better.

Inclusion Every Day, Belonging for All

Matthew Mayer embodies an intersection of identities – he is a longtime healthcare worker, a dedicated Unit Clerk in the Emergency Department, a graduate from George Brown College, a valued member of a loving and supportive family, a partner of 24 years, and a proud member of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

For Matt, inclusion isn’t just about big gestures — it’s found in the small, everyday actions that make people feel seen, respected, and safe to be themselves. When we lead with kindness, listen openly, and advocate for one another, we help build communities where everyone belongs.
