Construction on the new Stuart Lake Hospital has come a long way since breaking ground! Now that the exterior of the new facility is almost complete, we thought this would be the perfect time to look back and see how it all came together...

Summer 2022 is full steam ahead for the Stuart Lake Hospital Replacement Project. Construction is advancing on schedule which means earthworks are underway. The site is busy with retaining wall work and excavation of the building footprint.
We are happy to say the design of the new hospital is also on schedule and on-going. We look forward to more opportunities to connect with the public and with our project partners at events and in the community in the near future.
To ask questions or for more information, please contact us here, at LetsTalkSLH@northernhealth.ca. And stay tuned! We'll have more to report as the summer progresses.

We are excited to announce that the Design-Build Agreement has been signed with the Stuart Lake Hospital Replacement Project’s preferred proponent, Graham Design Builders LP, which means that construction can begin!
“People in Fort St. James and the surrounding communities will soon see shovels go in the ground for a state-of-the-art hospital, which is very exciting,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of Health. “Local residents have been waiting for years to see their hospital replaced and our government took action to make it happen.” Read the full announcement here.
The timeline hasn't changed, so construction is expected to begin at the end of May, 2022, and the new hospital should be ready for patients in 2025.

People in Fort St. James and the surrounding area are one step closer to a modern hospital as a preferred proponent has been selected for the design phase.
"Our government is moving forward to deliver a new hospital in Fort St. James with the selection of a preferred proponent and signing of the design-early works agreement," said Adrian Dix, Minister of Health. ͞This announcement means we are closer to seeing what the hospital will look like and getting shovels in the ground."
Northern Health requested and received proposals from three shortlisted proponents for this stage of the procurement process, the design-early works agreement (DEWA). Those teams were Clark Builders, Graham Design Builders LP and SBW Wright Construction JV.
As a result of the evaluation process, in co-ordination with Northern Health and Infrastructure BC, Graham Design Builders LP was selected as the successful proponent.
The new hospital is expected to be three times larger in building size than the current facility with 27 beds, including 18 long-term care beds. There will be an emergency department with two treatment rooms, a trauma bay and ambulance bay. A laboratory and diagnostic imaging will be part of the new facility.
The hospital will include a primary care centre to consolidate services offered in Fort St. James at one location, reducing the distance patients and staff need to go for medical appointments, community health services, diagnostic imaging and lab services.
