New Hope with 40 Beds at Saskatoon City Hospital

Imagine this: You're in need of medical care in Saskatoon, and the last thing you want is to be stuck in long wait times. Well, there’s good news on the horizon! On November 7, 2025, the Saskatchewan Government announced the opening of 40 new acute care beds at Saskatoon City Hospital (SCH). That's right—40 new beds, ready to serve patients!

This expansion is just the beginning. When completed, the SCH will have a total of 109 new beds, adding a whopping 14% to the city’s overall hospital capacity! So what does this mean for you and your loved ones? Faster admissions, shorter wait times, and timely care.

Here’s the exciting part: the expansion includes various specialized care units:

• 22 Acute Rehabilitation beds
• 12 Acquired Brain Injury beds
• 60 General Medicine beds
• 15 High Acuity beds

With more beds, the pressure on emergency departments will ease. You'll be able to get the care you need without the hassle.

But here's the thing—this expansion is not just about the beds; it’s about the whole experience. Patient care comes first! Health Minister Jeremy Cockrill emphasized that this new medicine unit supports the dedicated healthcare staff working hard every day for patients like you.

Now, that’s something to celebrate! Plus, more than 500 new healthcare professionals will be added to support these critical services. This is all part of a broader strategy to make healthcare in Saskatchewan better for everyone.

So, what does this mean for you? If you or someone you know may need hospital care in the future, rest assured that there’s a stronger support system ready to help. Access to high-quality care is getting easier! This initiative not only improves healthcare but also strengthens the community connection.

There’s a bright future ahead—it’s time to embrace it!
