Work begins on Lacombe emergency department upgrades
Work is underway on renovations to the emergency department at the Lacombe Hospital and Care Centre.
Alberta Health Services says the renovations will feature improved treatment spaces, a new waiting room, barrier-free washrooms and other amenities. The project also promises improved visibility of the waiting area from the triage desk, so staff can more easily monitor patients for changes in their conditions.
“This project is significant and will have a range of benefits,” says Kimberley Sommerville, site manager at the Lacombe Hospital and Care Centre. “This work will help ensure we’re able to deliver the best care possible in a safe and functional environment for years to come.”
AHS says every effort will be made to minimize the disruption to patients during construction, which is expected to be completed by next fall.
