Manitoba's health minister Audrey Gordon speaks at an Aug. The province said the new unit was sparked by a feasibility study and review that looked at the number and frequency of patients travelling outside their communities for dialysis treatment. “The start of construction here at Bethesda Regional Health Centre brings us one day closer to reducing the need for those living in or near Manitoba’s third-largest city to travel elsewhere for care, while providing the site with the necessary capacity to continue growing in the years ahead,” Manitoba’s health minister Audrey Gordon said at a ceremony marking the start of construction Monday.Īccording to the province, this will fund 15 additional acute-care medicine beds, eight surgical beds, an investment in the treatment of patients for a variety of needs, including palliative and end-of-life care, and pharmacy upgrades to aid the delivery of chemotherapy services and establish Bethesda as a regional hub for cancer care.

The province said work is now underway at Bethesda Regional Health Centre as part of the first phase of a roughly $32 million capital project to expand the site. Construction has begun on a new renal unit in Steinbach that will allow dialysis patients to receive care closer to home.
