As part of the expansion, the existing 10-bed intensive care unit at the west Winnipeg hospital will get about 20 additional beds.

The staffing to support the new beds at the hospital will come from the government’s current $200m plan to hire 2,000 more healthcare workers.

Following an addition of 33,000ft2 of renovated space, the treatment given to patients at the intensive care unit is expected to be further enhanced.

Construction of the project is slated to begin in the 2024 summer (May to September). Its design work is likely to begin soon.
