Early works construction begins for Prince Albert Victoria Hospital project

Construction has begun at Prince Albert’s Victoria Hospital for a new and larger parking lot, located on the south side of the hospital. The creation of the new parking lot will allow the tower to be built on the north side of the hospital, where current staff and patient parking exists, resulting in additional stalls for all entering the Victoria Hospital.

An event held on July 24, 2023, celebrated the next step towards expanding the Victoria Hospital, one of many milestones to come in the largest major capital project the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) has underway.

“I am proud of the dedicated teams working diligently behind the scenes to establish optimal patient flows for the expansion of services, which will serve this community for years to come,” said Derek Miller, SHA Chief Operating Officer.

The project will include a new tower to increase acute care beds by 40 per cent, grow the number of mental health beds and expand the square footage of the emergency department, allowing for more patients to be seen and treated closer to home.  The addition of newer technology for diagnostic imaging and laboratory equipment will create more efficient testing and treatment of patients.

Thank you to the partnership with the Prince Albert Grand Council (PAGC) for its guidance and support in the design of the future facility. The SHA and Government of Saskatchewan appreciate the collaboration of our partnering organizations in the delivery of this project.

A heartfelt appreciation goes out to the Victoria Hospital Foundation, as they take on the task of fundraising for the furniture, fixtures and equipment for the expansion. Without the foundation’s dedication, this would not be possible.
