The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care does not fund parking lots, so hospitals must generate parking revenue. Revenue generated by Bluewater Health’s parking lots is used to support patient programs and services, and for the upkeep of the lots, including lighting, snow removal and general maintenance.
Half of the parking proceeds from the visitor parking lot at CEEH of Bluewater Health is directed to the CEEH Foundation.
Veterans park for free on Bluewater Health property when displaying a poppy license plate or identifying themselves as a veteran to Security Services.
Parking information for each of Bluewater Health’s locations is set out below. Please do not leave any valuables in your vehicle.
