Saskatchewan invests over $9M to upgrade Lloydminster health facilities

Sep 17, 2025 | 8:54 AM

The Saskatchewan government has invested more than $9 million to improve health-care facilities in Lloydminster, with upgrades already underway at the hospital, long-term care homes and other medical centres.

The province said the funding will go toward critical maintenance, new equipment and improved patient spaces, including a planned healing space at Lloydminster Hospital.

“The Government of Saskatchewan works closely with the Saskatchewan Health Authority(SHA) and our counterparts in Alberta to provide consistent, quality health-care services for all residents of the Lloydminster area,” Health Minister Jeremy Cockrill said in a release issued Sept. 16.

“These investments demonstrate our ongoing commitment to residents in the area now and into the future.”

About $7.9 million is earmarked for the Lloydminster Hospital, where work has already been completed on new elevators, a bulk oxygen tank and refrigeration systems designed to protect sensitive medical equipment, maintain infection control and improve patient comfort.

Upcoming projects include exterior upgrades, a loading dock and parking lot overhaul, and the renovation of a bariatric room.

Prairie North Plaza is receiving $345,000 for heating, cooling and ventilation upgrades, while Jubilee Home has been allocated $800,000 for boiler improvements.

The Saskatchewan Ministry of Health is also providing $342,000 in one-time funding for surgical equipment to increase capacity, reduce operating room downtime and maintain patient safety.

In addition, Alberta has contributed $6.2 million toward a new renal dialysis unit at the Community Services Building, which now accommodates 24 patients. The dialysis centre is being run jointly by Alberta Health Services(AHS) and the SHA.

“The new renal dialysis centre in Lloydminster is a significant enhancement to the city’s health-care services,” Alberta Minister of Hospital and Surgical Health Services Matt Jones wrote.

“It will improve patient outcomes and ensure that both Saskatchewanians and Albertans have access to high-quality care closer to home.”
