The final planning documents for the Kincardine hospital redevelopment have been submitted to Ontario's Ministry of Health, South Bruce Grey Health Centre says.
The ministry is reviewing them. Its approval would let the project move to an open tendering process, the health centre said in a news post on Nov. 6.
The project expands and modernizes the hospital's Emergency Department, Medical Imaging (including an MRI suite), Laboratory, decontamination room, Food Services, lobby and back-of-house loading area.
Construction is targeted to begin in late spring or early summer 2027, the health centre said.
Ministry-funded hospital capital projects require part of the cost to be raised by the community. The Kincardine and Community Health Care Foundation has raised more than $16 million so far toward its $18-million Building Health Care for Generations campaign, according to the health centre.
"This is not a small project, and not a small fundraising task for the Foundation to take on," Nancy Shaw, president and CEO of South Bruce Grey Health Centre, said in the post.
To mark the step, the health centre has released a virtual tour of the planned space.
