Ground was broken last week on the long-awaited Children’s Hospital of Saskatchewan.
Located in Saskatoon, the hospital is scheduled for completion in 2017. The 176-bed facility will be located next to the Royal University Hospital on the University of Saskatchewan.
“This place of hope and healing will support high quality health care for our province’s children and families,” said Premier Brad Wall. “This is truly an historic day as we celebrate a hospital made in Saskatchewan, for Saskatchewan.”
A significant amount of design input for the hospital came from patients, families, staff and physicians during the planning phase.
“We are so excited and proud to be part of this moment,” Tara Johnson and Kimberley Camboia, two parents who have spent the past few years helping to plan and design the new hospital.
