Hotel-Dieu Grace Healthcare is fundraising for a multi-million-dollar addition that will not receive government funding. CTV Windsor's Ricardo Veneza reports. Hotel-Dieu Grace Healthcare (HDGH) is expanding its campus and has kicked off a campaign to fund the new facility The hospital is building out a multi-million-dollar addition to its campus focused on its rehabilitation suite of services, and the project is being undertaken without any government funding. The campaign got off to a big money start on Wednesday with the Toldo Foundation donating $1.5-milliond toward the $8.3-million project. 'This outpatient program is really a game changing opportunity for people who have come through perhaps catastrophic events, who've been hospitalized due to injuries, whether it be an amputation, a brain injury or a spinal cord injury,' said HDGH President and CEO, Bill Marra. The newly named Toldo Outpatient Rehabilitation Centre is well under construction and will support over 15,000 patient visits the program sees every year. With new features like exercise equipment, walking track, direct patient drop off, therapy rooms, and a simulated kitchen and bathroom to help patients restore their motor movements and confidence at home. Something Marra says is part of the core promise of HDGH, addressing rehabilitation and mental health. Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare - july 2025 (Source: Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare/Facebook) 'This is the biggest and most significant rehab center of its kind in the region. Our catchment area will go as far as Chatham-Kent. We have programs and services that bring people into them all over Ontario,' he said. Paralympic champion Danielle Campo knows the rehab services all too well, having received care for her surprise muscular dystrophy diagnosis at the hospital. Now chairing the campaign, she says the state-of-the-art centre will mean the world to those on their own journey of recovery. 'You always drive into this parking lot, and you remember when, you know, even my husband and I had to take a little deep breath saying. Whew. This was such a time. And you people can't understand how important this outpatient center will be,' said Campo. Marra is hopeful the doors to the centre can open to provide services as soon as this fall. 'The growth in demand for services is happening organically with an aging population, with more people seeking services and the medical system being as busy as it is,' he said.

Bob Probert's family helps open Tecumseh health care campus in his name
Family members of the late Detroit Red Wings enforcer Bob Probert celebrated what would have been his 60th birthday on Thursday by helping open the Hotel-Dieu Grace Healthcare (HDGH) Tecumseh campus named in his honour. The Bob Probert Tecumseh Campus offers specialized outpatient programs, including cardiac wellness, rehab outreach, outpatient rehab services and geriatric services, according to a news release from HDGH. Probert's widow, Dani Probert, said the official opening was more emotional than she expected it to be. "Typically on Bob's birthday, we like to celebrate quietly, privately," she said. "The kids and I are sitting with his favourite music and eating all of his favourite foods. And today, it seemed so appropriate to be with the community at an event like this. … I think the community of Windsor-Essex has been so amazing with helping us in the grieving process over 10 years. So it seemed really special to be with the same people after all these years to spend his birthday." Bob Probert died in 2010 of a heart attack at the age of 45, eight years after his retirement from the National Hockey League. A feared enforcer and one-time all-star His 16-year career with the Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks earned him a reputation as a feared enforcer who accumulated 3,300 penalty minutes – the fifth-highest total of all time. He also racked up 384 points, including 163 goals, and earned an All-Star nod during the 1987-88 season. For a decade after his death, his family helped organize the annual Bob Probert Ride, a fundraising motorcycle poker run in his honour, to raise money for health care. "The ride has achieved a lot over the years," Probert's daughter, Brogan, told the audience at the opening. "Since that very first meeting, we were able to support the cardiac cath lab on Ouellette, provide exercise equipment to the Petro Family Cardiac Wellness Centre on Prince Road, and now the Bob Probert Tecumseh campus will officially open. The impact that this campus will have on our community is greater than we originally had anticipated. It's incredible." The president and CEO of Hotel-Dieu Grace Healthcare said the campus has already seen around 700 patient visits since its soft opening on March 3. And there's been no reduction in the patient volume at the main campus on Prince Road, a spokesperson added. That demand is prompting the organization to think about expanding, Bill Marra said. "I've been in the public service for 37 years in a variety of leadership roles," he said. "This is one of the most grassroots community-based success stories I've ever been a part of – the family coming together over a catastrophic event, donors from a wide spectrum of corporate citizens, private citizens, a hospital institution, the Town of Tecumseh, organized labour. Think about that formula and look at where we're at today."
