Prairie Mountain Health has released an update on many of its construction projects in the province.
Here in Dauphin, the DRHC has entered another phase of construction that looks to add additional inpatient beds (seven in the Medicine Unit, two in Surgery), renovate the former cancer care unit into a physiotherapy area, and add additional storage areas.
The new Endoscopy suite, which was part of Phase 1 is still under construction and PMH is working toward having the new suite operational within the next few months.
Other expansions also include the new CT scanner in Swan river, a $2.9 million expansion at the Expanding Community Cancer Care Committee in Russel, and a new hospital being built in Neepawa.
There is also a sizeable project in the Western Manitoba Care Center, adding a nearly 9,500-sq-ft expansion and a second medical linear accelerator, used for delivering external beam radiation treatments to patients with cancer.
As well, Brandon Regional Healthcare will be adding a new Critical Care bed tower addition, containing 16 new intensive care beds, 30 medical beds on the second floor, and space for expansion above that.
many of these projects are estimated to be completed in 2026.
