Premier Stefanson was in Dauphin this morning at the Dauphin Regional Health Center for an announcement and our Eric Fawx was in attendance.
The Premier announced a five million dollar investment to renovate and expand services at the Dauphin Regional Medical Center.
The funding will be used to relocate all endoscopy procedures out of the operating rooms and into their own dedicated unit which will allow up to 300 additional endoscopies to be performed in the Parkland. This move will free up valuable space for more surgical procedures to be done in Dauphin in the future.
She announced the relocation of other units to new dedicated spaces including the chemotherapy department to a more modern space.
Construction is expected to begin next year and be completed in 2023.
