The newly redeveloped Weyburn General Hospital in Saskatchewan will open later this year. The 35-bed facility features 25 acute-care beds, 10 inpatient mental health treatment beds, a heliport and office space for the hospital foundation.

The Saskatchewan Health Authority has started moving in furniture, fixtures and equipment after years of collaboration between the builder Wright Construction Western Inc., the Ministry of SaskBuilds and Procurement, and the City of Weyburn. Community donors, the Weyburn and District Hospital Foundation, and a provincial investment of more than $134 million helped to realize the development.

“This facility is the result of years of commitment, collaboration, and generosity from countless individuals, businesses, and partners who believed in this vision,” said Weyburn & District Hospital Foundation Board Chair Jeff Hayward. “On behalf of the Foundation Board, we are proud to see it come to fruition and look forward to the meaningful impact it will have – improving access to care, enhancing services, and supporting the health and well-being of our community for generations to come.”
