Project Description

The Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre is the first Public-Private Partnership (P3) Hospital to be built in British Columbia. Construction on the facility started in 2005 and is scheduled to be complete in Spring 2008.

The Hospital will have a total area of approximately 63,000 square metres distributed over five levels. It is situated on approximately 10 hectares of land in Abbotsford, British Columbia, bound by the Trans-Canada Highway to the south, Gladwin Road to the west and Marshall Road to the north.

This 300-bed, state-of-the-art facility will be three times larger than the current acute care hospital it is replacing. It will provide enhanced and specialized health services to more than 150,000 people in the Abbotsford area and up to 330,000 in the Fraser Valley.A cancer treatment centre, which will be run by the BC Cancer Agency, has been integrated into the hospital's design, and will provide diagnosis and treatments such as MRIs, radiation and chemotherapy, kidney dialysis and specialized surgeries previously only available by driving to Surrey, BC.
