Weyburn is getting ready to build a new General Hospital.
The town has recently announced that Wright Construction out of Saskatoon has been selected to do the construction.
“I’m pleased to have a construction team in place and the new Weyburn and District Hospital will soon begin to take shape,” Minister of Rural and Remote Health Everett Hindley said. “The residents of Weyburn and area will benefit from this new modern facility and the health care efficiencies it will facilitate, well into the future.”
The new hospital will have 25 acute care beds and a 10-bed mental health inpatient unit.
It’ll also have an Emergency Medical Services garage and an adjacent heliport pad.
“It is exciting to see we are getting closer to the start of construction on the new Weyburn Hospital,” Weyburn-Big Muddy MLA Dustin Duncan said. “This new acute care facility will better meet the needs of Weyburn and the surrounding area for years to come by centralizing more services under one roof.”
It’ll be located on the north side of 5th Avenue North between Hamilton Street and 5th Street at 275-5th Avenue Northwest.
The construction of the hospital will begin in the spring of 2023 and it’s expected to be completed in 2025.
