Alberta NDP says they will put shovels in ground for Red Deer Regional Hospital in 2024
On the second day of election campaigns, Alberta NDP leader Rachel Notley claims that under her government, she plans to see shovels in the ground for the Red Deer Regional Hospital by next year.
At a press conference held outside the Hospital on Tuesday, Notley added that she plans on opening a Family Health Clinic within the new hospital and reiterated her plans to ensure every family can get a doctor through their Family Health Teams.
“When we first got into government, the Red Deer Hospital was not as high on AHS’ property list as it needed to be. In early 2019, we committed that the Red Deer Hospital would get a significant rebuild and in fact, what then happened is the UCP matched that commitment. Unfortunately, four years later, nothing’s been done,” she said.
“We expect that we will be getting shovels into the ground no later than 2024 because we know that this is long overdue.”
