Rep. Ashford Announces $1.9 million for Infrastructure
Improvements at Toledo Hospital
Special to The Truth
Last week, State Rep. Michael Ashford (D-Toledo) announced
the release of $1.9 million in state funds for a roof
replacement project at the Northwest Ohio Psychiatric
Hospital in Toledo.
“The quality of Toledo’s healthcare network begins with our
infrastructure,” said Rep. Ashford. “Northwest provides
vital care to our friends and neighbors and this funding
will help us move forward in giving families access to the
best facilities and care for their loved ones.”
Northwest’s existing roof is over 35 years old and is
experiencing rapid deterioration. The hospital plans to
replace the entirety of the existing 75,000 sf. roof with a
new, energy-star rated roof in the coming months. In
addition to the roof replacement, the project will also
replace damaged glass panels, repair masonry and update
rooftop condensing units. Quality Roofing Inc. of Whitmore
Lake will complete the renovations scheduled to begin later
this year.
Northwest Ohio Psychiatric Hospital is one of Ohio’s six
regional psychiatric hospitals specializing in short-term,
intensive treatments to patients in both inpatient and
community-supported environments. Northwest focuses on
recovery and rehabilitation for patients in the city of
Toledo, Lucas County and surrounding communities.
