Surgical tower costs alarming
PRINCE GEORGE – It has been a project on the books for years, but the bill for the surgical tower has come to attention. The tower would include cardiac care, services for mental health and addictions, and new operating rooms.
At last count, the bill for the new surgical tower is $625 million. As per legislation, the Regional Hospital District – part of the Regional District of Fraser Fort George – is responsible for forty percent of that bill. That’s $247 million and change.
