Ground-breaking of new Health Centre!

Melodysample — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 18:54:18 +0000

This summer saw the ground-breaking ceremony of the new health centre in Grande Prairie. Named after a family from the Region, The Shields Health and Education Centre will include a state-of-the-art cancer centre, 200 acute care beds, and a health care training facility in partnership with the Grande Prairie Regional College.

“The Shields Health and Education Centre will support the evolving needs of this community as the area continues to grow and change,” said Ken Hughes, AHS Board Chair. “The new hospital will help front-line AHS staff and physicians continue to provide residents a comprehensive scope of services that address their local health needs.”

Expanding and/or redeveloping health care facilities in communities across the province is among the 5-year goals jointly developed by AHS and the Government of Alberta.

AHS continues to work with physicians, partners and the community to finalize the the Health Centre program planning. Some of the health care services are expected to be available at the new facility by Fall 2014 with the rest of the services completed in 2015.

The existing QEII Hospital will continue as a health care facility to provide ambulatory, community and other health services.

The QEII Hospital Foundation will be evolving to include the new Health Centre. Watch for future developments.
