DAWSON CREEK – Residents in the South Peace region will soon be able to benefit from a redevelopment of the Dawson Creek and District Hospital. Health Minister, Adrian Dix made the announcement Wednesday morning, that the provincial government has approved the concept plan to redevelop and expand the hospital. 

“This day has been a long, long, long time coming. Our government approved this project so patients can receive public health-care services in updated, state-of-the-art surroundings,” said Dix. “The South Peace region, its patients and health-care workers deserve nothing less.” 

“We’re so pleased to receive this announcement from the Province of B.C. that commits to improvements to our facility, services and care of patients at Dawson Creek and District Hospital,” said Colleen Nyce, Northern Health board chair. “This project will support our pledge to take a person-and family-centred approach to everything we do in a modern and up-to-date setting.”

The redeveloped hospital will include a new inpatient building, bigger emergency department, modern operating rooms and more beds. Northern Health identified the hospital for renewal as a priority since 2008, with support from the community.
