Selkirk Regional Health Centre Expansion
Now Open!
Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority staff, community members and construction partners joined to celebrate the formal opening of the 30-bed inpatient expansion on Sept. 13.
This investment in Selkirk Regional Health Centre resulted in a significant expansion for the facility; increasing acute care inpatient beds by 30, expanding the treatment capacity within the emergency department, and enhancing Selkirk’s ability to treat and monitor patients. The emergency department renovation was completed in March of 2024. The inpatient unit was completed on September 1, 2024.
