•  Ontario's population is growing - and growing older. In 25 years, more than four million more people will live in Ontario, and seniors will make up 22 per cent of the population, compared to 13 per cent now. But a growing and aging population and increasing demands for access to the latest innovations are all contributing to ever-increasing pressures in our health care system.

•  Our hospitals are aging too. Hospital buildings are, on average, more than 40 years old.
