NORTHERN BC–Terrace will be upgrading their current 78 bed hospital to a state-of-the-art one more than double its size.

The business plan for the $447.5 million new Mills Memorial Hospital was completed and approved and will soon get underway. The upgrade will see the current 124,969 square foot hospital turned into a 284,000 sf one.

“This is an exciting time for people in Terrace and area, as we are delivering on the goal of a modern, bigger hospital that will be part of a network of care in the North that will have more beds and up-to-date technology to improve patients’ care,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of Health.

The new hospital will serve as a level-three trauma and inpatient surgery center that will provide assessment, resuscitation, surgery and intensive care for injured patients. Mental health will also receive an upgrade with a new and larger facility being built on hospital grounds.
