SHA to offer guided tours of new Sask Hospital in late October
The Saskatchewan Health Authority is planning a sneak peek of the new Sask Hospital in late October.
Tours will start on October 22 and run through to the 26, and then again from the 29 through to November 2. The public will have the opportunity to tour the 284-bed provincial psychiatric facility prior to patients and staff moving in around mid-November. Linda Lewis, communications officer with the Saskatchewan Health Authority, told battlefordsNOW what the public will see.
“It’s a walking tour, and will take around an hour,” Lewis said. “It’s going to feature some of the highlights of the hospital including one of the patient wards, some specialized therapy areas, the education and business centres, cafeteria, courtyard areas, the gymnasium and multi-use space, the health care clinic and so much more.”
Tour times are Monday through Friday during the two weeks, in 15-minute intervals. Lewis says spots are going to be hard to come by once the tours begin.
