clarissa.beke asked over 1 year agoWe appreciate you taking the time to send in your questions. Alberta’s government and AHS are committed to planning and building a new Edmonton hospital that meets the current and future needs of Edmonton and area residents. It is anticipated that seniors will comprise a large portion of patients receiving care at the site. Geriatric Services are part of the current plans, and pelvic health is also being considered. Further planning and next steps will be determined once a plan and cost estimate for the new hospital is developed.

TINNA asked over 1 year agoThank you for your question. The new hospital will be built near the corner of Ellerslie Road and 127 Street SW in the Heritage Valley area of Edmonton. This 320-acre site was chosen because it can accommodate a health campus. Its proximity to Anthony Henday Drive and the Queen Elizabeth II highway makes it easily accessible. If you would like to clarify your question further, please don’t hesitate to post a follow up question.

loshnimani asked over 2 years agoThank you for your interest in this project. Yes, typical laboratory services will be provided to patients. Currently, Alberta Precision Laboratories is the lab provider for AHS across the province, and once the New Edmonton Hospital is operational it will also utilize the provincial lab provider at that time.

Sian asked over 3 years agoThank you for your inquiry. Major government construction projects in the province are managed by Alberta Infrastructure. The new Edmonton Hospital is still in the planning phase. Once planning is complete, a competitive, public procurement process will be undertaken to hire the required contractors.

Share I have concerns with the hospital project in response to other hospital blunders that should have been caught early such as the doors too small and insufficient power at the Mazankowski Heart hospital not to mention the money that has been put towards repairs at several other hospitals that perhaps should have been new projects as the millions have been Band-Aids for other problems. Grande Prairie hospital is another massive loss in millions not to mention the time lost in getting a proper facility up there. I would hope that in the digial era we live in that it would be possible to have a virtual tour of a facility in mind for the build. Have all areas that would be using the hospital a chance to interactively go on the tour to see where there may be potential problems such as: Hallways too narrow, rooms and wash rooms too small, doors to rooms not large enough for hospital beds to go through, medical carts in hall ways, linen carts in hall ways, wheel chairs, walkers, IV poles, Cleaning carts. Insufficient power in the rooms. Addition of USB plugs in rooms, washrooms that you can fit in. Clothing closets that can hold winter coats as well. These are small things, but they add up to what is the space and is it a good use of it as well can the traffic of staff, patients, visitors, and others fit into all the spaces without having to move to the side to let someone past. I have been a patient unfortunately too many times and seen so many problems and felt there could be better ways to use certain spaces and look not only at the mechanics of space but the feel of space. I would hate to hear once the shovel is in the ground and the building starts that a major blunder is discovered and the after thought is why did we not consult those that work in these areas to better design them.

Sayler asked over 3 years agoThank you for your thoughtful inquiry and feedback. While there will likely always be unforeseen challenges, we can say that we are doing our very best to plan a facility that is high quality and functional for patients and staff alike. We will follow the best guidelines at the time of design and construction, and we are already engaging with many front-line staff and leaders, as well as working closely with patients, families, and Indigenous contributors to ensure that we are including a wide range of perspectives. Some of the planning team have toured other recently constructed facilities, but we like your idea of looking into possibly doing some virtual tours to continue to build our knowledge as we continue to plan this exciting project.
