VANCOUVER Construction is beginning at the new St. Paul s Hospital in Vancouver with facilities expected to be ready in 2027. B.C. s minister of health made the announcement during a morning news conference Monday. The new St. Paul s Hospital will be home to world-class public health care as well as research and a teaching centre that will help transform patient care for people in B.C., said Adrian Dix. After more than a decade and a half of stalling, I am proud that our government gave this project the green light and took further action for this new, state-of-the-art facility. The St. Paul s Hospital will continue its legacy of serving the people around the province now and in the future.
