Emergency Services
Rosthern hospital decreases ambulance distances to emergency care and reduces wait times and emergency department congestion in city hospitals.
So why do we need a new hospital?
History
The Rosthern Hospital was originally built in 1950 making it over 70 years old. Several additions have been made over the years, but the building is aging.
Engineering
Two separate engineering consultations have indicated major inadequacies of the current building and both highly recommended a new facility to be built to guarantee that the care being provided can continue.
Training & Teaching
The services and teaching currently offered have outgrown the physical structure. A new facility will meet the needs required to continue being a leader in teaching and training students.
Population Growth
Major economic and population growth in the area North of Saskatoon has occured and is expected to continue.
The Sask Valley Hospital Foundation was created to oversee the effort to raise the funds for the building of the hospital
To date we have raised over $6,500,000!
But we still have a job to do
Our goal is $10,000,000
Fund Raising Efforts
Every community in the Twin Rivers district has a portion of their property taxes going towards the fundraising effort. Members of communities have also donated and hosted events.
To date we have raised over $6,5 million and are well on our way to making this a reality!
