WILLIAMS LAKE, B.C. — Interior Health continues to work on a business plan for Cariboo Memorial Hospital (CMH) redevelopment, as announced by the Ministry of Health in February 2018.
Earlier this summer, Interior Health issued a Request for Proposals and awarded four for preliminary design work. Two contracts were awarded to IBI Group, as the managing consultant and to deliver an indicative design for the redeveloped hospital. WSP Group was also awarded two contracts, as the mechanical and electrical consultants.
The CMH redevelopment proposes to create more functional space for patients and health-care providers, increase capacity to serve more patients and improve the physical environment to bring the hospital up to modern standards of care. Identified needs for the hospital include improvements to the inpatient unit, maternity, emergency services, ambulatory care and pharmacy. Space will also be provided for the UBC Faculty of Medicine.
Members of Interior Health’s Capital Planning department have been in Williams Lake several times this summer and fall, meeting with stakeholder groups including staff, physicians, community members and Indigenous groups.
