LLOYDMINSTER — The provincial government has announced that the Lloydminster Hospital will be receiving a $5.9 million investment to upgrade the exterior and building envelope renewal project.
The exterior project will be completed in two phases, with the first phase including the removal of the exterior brick, rewrapping of the building and the addition of new insulation to improve durability and be more energy efficient. Phase two will involve the installation of new metal siding and the replacement of approximately 180 windows. The announcement projects that substantial completion is slated for October 2027.
“This investment in the exterior renovations at Lloydminster Hospital is a critical step to protect the hospital infrastructure in our community. First impressions matter, and improvements like these help create a more welcoming and reassuring environment for patients, hospital staff, and visitors as they arrive,” said Mayor Gerald Aalbers. “We appreciate the investment in local health care and the role of our provincial partners in supporting these improvements. As our community continues to grow, we look forward to ongoing efforts that strengthen care for residents.”
“These exterior upgrades to Lloydminster Hospital focus on renewing essential infrastructure, while improving safety and functionality for patients, residents, visitors and health-care teams,” said Julia Pemberton, Vice-President, Integrated Northern Health, Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA).
This exterior renewal builds on a series of recent and ongoing investments in Lloydminster’s health care facilities. The hospital recently completed projects that included elevator upgrades and a new bulk oxygen tank to enhance reliability and patient safety.
Work is still underway to install new chillers, critical systems that regulate temperature to protect sensitive medical equipment, to ensure proper storage of medical samples, support infection prevention and control, and improve patient comfort; with completion expected by June 2026.
Additional projects include completion of loading dock upgrades, a bariatric room renovation currently in progress, and planning for a new healing and quiet space to better support families and patients.
