“We’ve assembled an amazing team of trade partners, consultants and health care professionals, and our entire team is looking forward to continuing our collaboration with SaskBuilds, the Saskatchewan Health Authority and the City of Weyburn.”
Set to be constructed on the north side of 5th Avenue North between Hamilton Street and 5th Street at 275-5th Avenue NW, the new hospital will have 25 acute care beds.
