The Salvation Army after saying that it "wants to get out of the hospital business" has finally decided that it will continue to run the Historic Toronto Grace Hospital. This deal was finalized Wednesday afternoon in the middle of an uncertainty was that prevailed regarding the future of the hospital.

Salvation Army Captain John Murray told, "The charity and Ontario Health Minister Deb Matthews came to an agreement over the fate of the 119-bed hospital located at the foot of Church and Bloor Sts".

Health Minister Deb Matthews stated on Wednesday, "We have a strong and long-standing partnership with the Salvation Army and I'm thrilled that we're going to be able to keep working together to ensure that vital services are maintained at the current hospital site".

The Salvation Army expressed joy thanking the commitment of the health minister for announcing funding for infrastructure upgrades. These upgrades were required for the safety and security of the patients, staff and volunteers of the Toronto Grace Health Centre.

Murray said, "The hospital needs nearly $15 million in infrastructure upgrades. We recognized that there are limited capital and infrastructure fees to go around. After Matthew's office made a few suggestions to the charity's governing council, we reconsidered it. The way the staff responded, the way the community responded, they want the Salvation Army to stay".
