FERGUS – Groves Memorial Community Hospital (GMCH) has announced that the sale of the old hospital site will not proceed as initially planned.
In a news release Tuesday, the hospital says after careful consideration, GMCH has decided to relist the property for sale at a later date.
“Throughout the sales process, bids are submitted, reviewed, and carefully compared, with the best option being chosen,” explains Angela Stanley, President and CEO of GMCH, in the news release. “All terms and conditions must be met before announcing a successful bidder. While we have not yet found the right fit, we remain confident that the ideal buyer will emerge by relisting the property. We will keep the community up to date as we progress.”
On August 9, 2020, the doors closed at the old hospital located at 235 Union Street in Fergus.
Since then, a committee consisting of the hospital Board of Directors, community members, and hospital staff has partnered with the Ministry of Health (MoH) and Ontario Health West (OHW) to determine the future of the old hospital site.
