Residents of the South Shore deserve modern facilities that meet the needs of today and tomorrrow. Help us redevelop our Regional Hospital!
Health care services delivery methods, and our community's demographic have changed dramatically since 1988 when South Shore Regional was built.
The South Shore has one of the fastest aging populations in the Province. The health care needs of our family, friends and neighbours along with the needs of our health services providers, have evolved and our current facility must as well.
Today, South Shore Regional receives patients arriving with more complex and often more than one health condition. Patients find themselves undergoing diagnosis and treatment in spaces not designed for that purpose. Privacy is a challenge, particularly in serious health situations and traumatic life moments. Our top flight medical and support personnel are impeded by lack of functional space.
It's time for South Shore Regional to begin a new era of health care delivery.
The redevelopment facility will expand the footprint of the existing hospital by almost 30%, and will provide bright, modern, functional new spaces that include a new Emergency Department, renewed and enlarged Endoscopy and Day Surgery Units, a new Dialysis Unit, Spect CT and MRI.
The MRI means fewer patients will have to travel or be transported for this important diagnostic service and will support recruitment of health care providers to this community. Tanya Nixon, Vice President of Operations, Western Zone, Nova Scotia Health
When the construction is complete, the health care experience for our patients will be forever transformed. The surroundings in which our dedicated medical and support staff care for our community will be purpose-built, efficient, modern, spacious, functional and inviting.
The future of health care in our community is bright. We want you to be part of the dawning of a new day. Can we count you in?
