The redevelopment and expansion project planned for the Kincardine hospital will more than double the areas included in this first phase of the hospital improvement.
The emergency department will increase to 9,164 sq. ft. from 3,915, and see acute treatment spaces increase to 13 from nine (including at least one unit that can covert easily to a safe room for mental health patients). The medical imaging unit will increase to 7,153 sq. ft. from 2,444 sq. ft., and the lab will increase to 2,210 sq. ft. from 950.
The diagram to the right gives a general overview of the size and location of the expansion. At this stage, it’s still a work-in-progress.
The Building Health Care for Generations Capital Campaign Committee is thankful for the contributions made to kick off the fundraising efforts, in particular a $1.5 million donation from Bruce Power, along with an additional $500,000 donation from Bruce Power’s Supplier partners through the Bruce Power Supplier Sponsorship Program.
Bruce Power also contributed $1 million to the purchase of the CT scanner.
“Access to quality health care is crucial to any thriving community like Kincardine, and that’s why Bruce Power and our Suppliers are proud to commit $2 million to the Building Health Care for Generations Capital Campaign,” said Mike Rencheck, Bruce Power’s President and CEO. “I encourage local businesses and families to support the hospital campaign to their fullest capabilities so we can have first-class health care close to home.”
The Municipalities of Kincardine and Huron-Kinloss committed $600,000 and $100,000 respectively in their 2022 municipal budgets to the campaign. The fundraising committee has asked for overall contributions of $2.4 million from Kincardine and $600,000 from Huron-Kinloss over the course of the four-year fundraising drive.
Members of the Building Health Care for Generations Capital Campaign Committee have begun reaching out to community groups and organizations to deliver presentations about the project, which is a fundraising effort that will improve health care for everyone in our community – now and for generations to come. Its success will not be possible without everyone’s support.
