Renovating E.M. Crowe Memorial Hospital’s Emergency Room

Updates

Construction to Begin on New Eriksdale Emergency Department in New Year – Manitoba News Release

Project Overview

Work continues on Eriksdale’s E.M. Crowe Memorial Hospital as it is preparing for a major overhaul of its emergency department, with a multi-year renovation project aimed at modernizing the aging facility, expanding capacity, and improving patient care.

In spring 2025, a public survey generated 142 responses and in-person information sessions on March 6, 2025 saw approximately 150 staff members, physicians and members of the public share their thoughts on the project. In addition, first nation leaders from the areas serviced by the hospital were consulted on the project as part of commitment to community involvement.

The project design integrated this valuable feedback from the community. This includes enhanced privacy for patients at both triage and registration, a dedicated family space, and a dedicated patient waiting area. The renovated ED will also allow for enhanced treatment capabilities, improve physician call room space, and offer better connectivity to nursing care teams.

Early preparation including site setup, minor demolition and safety measures is expected to begin in February, with full construction scheduled to begin later that month once construction concludes on Ashern’s Lakeshore General Hospital Emergency Department.
