The next phase of development for the new Weyburn and District General Hospital will soon be underway.
Saskatoon-based Group2 Architecture Interior Design Ltd. will be responsible for leading the design of the new facility which will serve Weyburn and the surrounding area. The 35-bed health care building will include primary health services, a 10-bed inpatient mental health unit and enhanced emergency services, including a heliport.
The government says this will help bring health services currently in different locations around Weyburn under one roof.
“A brand new state-of-the-art hospital is something the people of Weyburn and area have been working toward for a long time,” stated Education Minister and Weyburn-Big Muddy MLA Dustin Duncan on behalf of Rural and Remote Health Minister Everett Hindley. “We are so grateful to the community for the support and generosity they have shown to help make this project a reality.”
