Raymond Hospital to receive modernization work
Modernization work has begun in the emergency department at Raymond Hospital in southern Alberta. According to Alberta Health Services, the work aims to improve facilities and patient flow, along with renovations to the laboratory and diagnostic imaging departments. While work progresses, staff and patients will continue to access services through the main entrance. The renovation, anticipated to be completed next spring, will increase the ED’s footprint by 80 per cent, creating room for more beds, and updating infrastructure while enhancing patient privacy and safety. Additional upgrades in other areas of the hospital will include the modernization of key mechanical and electrical, a new phlebotomy room in the lab, and provisions for future expansion of the existing laboratory.
