Linear Accelerator Expansion Project Starting
7-3-2024
Starting Monday, March 11, 2024, Windsor Regional Hospital will commence construction on a fourth (4th) Linear Accelerator (LINAC) to conduct radiation procedures for Windsor Regional cancer centre patients.
The project was given the green light to proceed to tender in 2023.
Currently, Windsor Regional performs approximately 30,000 radiation procedures annually. The goal is to get the 4th LINAC up and running by late fall 2024. Once up and running, over the subsequent 36 months, we will replace each of the existing three (3) radiation machines. At least three of the LINACs will be in operation, and for some months all four will be in operation until all are replaced.
"This is great news for our region and once again thanks to the Ford government for pressing ahead with a project that was first promised over a decade ago but was not acted upon until they gave the green light to proceed" stated David Musyj, President and CEO Windsor Regional Hospital.
