Praznik said the design process will begin immediately for a facility to be attached to the existing 30-bed personal care home and medical clinic. The integrated health centre will include 10 multi-purpose beds and six additional personal care beds to serve the area. Hospital staff will use the 10 beds for medical emergency and 24-hour observation purposes, and will offer palliative and respite care, but surgeries will not be performed at the facility.
Community needs change as the population ages.
Construction could start as early as next summer to replace the existing Carberry Hospital which was built in 1948.
