Upgrades to Raymond emergency department start next week
Southern Albertans will soon be able to attend a modernized and expanded emergency department (ED).
The Alberta Government has announced that construction is set to begin next week at the Raymond Health Centre’s ED
“The project, funded through the Alberta government’s Rural Health Facilities Revitalization Program, will expand and modernize the ED while leaving room for future expansion as the community grows. A new [diagnostic imaging] space opening later this year will create a more efficient layout and allow for the installation of new X-ray technology,” reads a news release from Alberta Health Services (AHS).
The renovation is set to increase the department’s footprint by 80 per cent, create room for more beds, improve patient flow and enhance patient privacy and safety.
