Construction on the $23-million Dauphin Regional Health Centre Redevelopment will soon be heading into a key project phase.
As renovation work has progressed throughout the spring and summer, project officials are now just over a month away from opening the renovated Temporary Emergency Department / Special Care Unit space. The Temporary Emergency Department will soon result in some significant changes to the way people gain access to the hospital. Some of the most notable changes that will impact the general public when the Temporary Emergency Department opens (which is anticipated at the end of October) will include: the complete closure of the DRHC front door entrance (off 3rd St. SW); the closure of the front entrance vehicle ramp and walkway ramp to the general public; the opening of a temporary hospital entrance for all public access. (Entrance will be located between the Hospital and Community Health Building — at the rear of the buildings); additional access to the hospital’s back parking lot, which has opened off Jackson Street. The new access will be the preferred entrance/exit to the parking lot, which will lead to the new temporary entrance of the hospital; changes to the general public and staff parking areas at the back of DRHC; and general ‘way-finding’ within the hospital.
Prairie Mountain Health reminds you to watch for way-finding signage both inside and outside facilities which include the DRHC, Dauphin Community Health Building and Dauphin Personal Care Home.
PMH remains committed to providing additional timely information as we get closer to critical change over dates that will impact all of our health partners, stakeholders, staff and the general public.
