Lakeridge Health and Grandview Kids have entered a partnership aimed at expanding healthcare services for children and youth with developmental and physical disabilities in the Durham Region. This collaboration will be based in the Jerry Coughlan Building, the new headquarters for Grandview Kids, located in Ajax. It will include a specialized outpatient procedure room designed for sedation-supported medical procedures.

This initiative will allow Grandview Kids' physicians to perform medical procedures with the support of Lakeridge Health's surgical and anesthesia staff. The collaboration is expected to increase access to these services fourfold, as per statements from Lakeridge Health.
