Improving Facilities and Equipment

What We've Done

Investing in Capital Infrastructure that creates capacity and access

Putting patients first means having the facilities, equipment, and infrastructure that make safe, high-quality health care possible. To do this, we're investing in existing spaces, building new ones, and supporting additional capacity through investments in equipment.

$2.3B

Invested in health capital infrastructure since 2018.

Major new hospitals and integrated health facilities opened since 2018

Expanded ICU capacity at Royal University Hospital

  • Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital - Saskatoon
  • Saskatchewan Hospital North Battleford
  • Leader & District Integrated Healthcare Facility
  • Regina Urgent Care Centre
  • Meadow Lake NorthWest Community Lodge long-term care centre
  • Royal University Hospital New Adult Emergency Department

 

What We're Doing

Next Steps

Expand long‑term care delivery through community partnerships:

  • Third-party design/build/own/operate long term care homes in Estevan and Watson.

Reduce the community share of design and construction costs for new long-term care centres and hospitals from 20 per cent to 10 per cent.

  • Prince Albert Victoria Hospital expansion to increase capacity by 40 per cent for northern communities and reduce pressure on Saskatoon.
  • New 240‑bed specialized long‑term care home in Regina, serving seniors with dementia, acquired brain injury and complex behavioural needs.
  • Complete the new Weyburn hospital replacing aging infrastructure in a growing region.
  • Complete the Saskatoon Urgent Care Centre (early 2027).
  • New Yorkton Hospital in the pre-design stage.
  • New Rosthern Hospital in the pre-procurement planning stage.
  • Building new long-term care facilities in La Ronge, Grenfell, Estevan, and Watson.
  • Esterhazy integrated health-care facility.

 

 

Why This Matters

Improving Outcomes

Modernized infrastructure improves patient safety, reduces outages and supports high‑quality clinical environments.

Expanded services, new beds and new LTC homes reduce travel for patients, especially in rural and northern communities.

Upgraded imaging and clinical spaces shorten wait times, improve patient flow and support timely treatment decisions.

Purpose‑built long‑term care homes support better living environments for seniors and families.

Up‑to‑date facilities enable advanced care (ICUs, imaging, specialized treatments) and support staff to work effectively.

Patients receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time, supported by facilities designed for today and ready for tomorrow.
