TRANSFORM OUR SPACE

Because of YOU, we are building to meet the needs of our growing community

The Stevenson Memorial Hospital project includes a wrap-around expansion to its current facility, significantly increasing both space and functionality. A number of critical clinical areas will be expanded and enhanced as part of the redevelopment, including:

• Emergency Department: The Emergency Department will triple in size and include a separate entrance, as well as enclosed Ambulance Bays.
• Laboratory: Expanded laboratory space to meet the needs of a growing patient population.
• Medical/Surgical (Inpatient Unit): Increased inpatient bed capacity (20% more beds) and 100% single occupancy rooms.
• Diagnostic Imaging: Expanded diagnostic imaging space, including the addition of an MRI suite for advanced imaging.
• Surgical Suite: Three new, state-of-the-art operating rooms to provide timely surgical services.
• Obstetrics (Birthing Unit): Third floor of new facility is dedicated to the Obstetrics Unit. Will feature bright, new patient rooms with family-friendly spaces.
• Pharmacy: Expanded pharmacy space to support patient care.
• Medical Device Reprocessing: Enhanced space for reprocessing of medical devices for safe and efficient patient care.
• Environmental Services: Increased space for environmental services to support hospital operations.
• Materials Management: Expanded space to improve materials management and hospital logistics.

The design of the new facility will make significant use of natural light and modern features. In addition to clinical upgrades, the hospital grounds will be refreshed with new gardens, green spaces, and enhanced parking to provide a welcoming environment for patients and visitors. A new, elevated helipad will be added to improve critical care transport. 

An early works project is underway to prepare the site for new construction, ensuring that the project proceeds smoothly and efficiently.

MRI Suite Coming to SMH

We are pleased to announce that the redevelopment project will include an MRI suite within the Diagnostic Imaging Department. This addition will allow patients to receive advanced imaging services closer to home, eliminating the need to travel outside the area for these important diagnostic procedures. The new MRI suite will play a vital role in diagnosing and monitoring diseases and injuries, offering detailed images of organs, bones, muscles, blood vessels, and other soft tissues to support treatment planning.
At SMH, we are committed to ensuring our community has access to this critical service close to home.
