We are embarking on a journey to redevelop, revitalize and expand Stevenson Memorial Hospital. The current hospital as it stands today was built in 1964. Back then, the Emergency Department was built to manage 7,000 visits per year. The hospital manages almost 35,000 per year and there has not been a change to the hospital's infrastructure to support this growth. With the significant growth in population of our community and local catchment area, we need this redevelopment today and for future generations.

The Project
The new expansion will wrap around the hospital’s current facility, tripling the size of the hospital and will revitalize many clinical areas. Inpatient bed capacity will increase by 20 per cent. The Emergency Department will triple in size and have its own separate entrance with enclosed Ambulance Bays. Laboratory space will be enhanced, surgical suites, inpatient rooms, diagnostic imaging, birthing suites and more. The design features significant use of natural light, modern features and new, refreshed gardens and green space. A new, elevated helipad will also be a part of the project.
