It’s a glimpse at what the new hospital in Kincardine will look like.
South Bruce Grey Health Centre (SBGHC) and the Kincardine and Community Health Care Foundation (KCHCF) unveiled long-awaited architectural drawings of the redeveloped Kincardine hospital in a media release Wednesday.
The new emergency department, medical imaging and laboratory spaces will be two and a half times larger than the current footprint.
The new facility will also getting Bruce County’s first MRI.
“This is an exciting and historic moment for our community,” says Nancy Shaw, CEO, SBGHC. “These new renderings show a modern, welcoming, and purpose-built hospital designed to meet the growing and changing needs of the patients we serve. The expanded Emergency Department, Diagnostic Imaging, and Laboratory will significantly enhance our ability to deliver high-quality, timely care including the addition of the MRI, which will be a game-changer for local access to diagnostic services.”
The drawings were revealed at an event that also recognized the Municipality of Kincardine and the Township of Huron-Kinloss for their generous support toward the redevelopment project.
To fund the local share of the project the KCHCF launched an ambitious $18 million campaign in 2022, the community responded by raising $14 million, leaving just $4 million to complete the project.
