Queensway Health Centre (founded 1956 as Queensway General Hospital)[1] is the ambulatory care centre for the hospital group. It provides urgent care (non-emergency) to residents of western Toronto and central-southern Mississauga, relieving pressure on the emergency room at Mississauga Hospital and other nearby hospitals.[2] The Queensway Health Centre is also the site of rehabilitation services, a Complex Continuing Care unit,[3] the Betty Wallace Women's Health Clinic,[4] and the Kingsway Financial Spine Centre.

Charitable foundation

Trillium Health Partners' work of providing health care is supported by the fundraising efforts of the Trillium Health Partners Foundation, which was formed through the merger of the Credit Valley Hospital Foundation and the Trillium Health Centre Foundation in 2013.
