Movement on Hospital’s Redevelopment Plans Over the past year, CPDMH has continued to do its best to move the project to build a new hospital forward and towards the end of 2011, the organization received some positive news. The Champlain Local Health Integrated Network (LHIN) had lifted the necessity to wait for the completion of a clinical services review. “We are very pleased to be actively planning again” stated Toni Surko. “We are now in the process of reviewing the business case submitted in April 2008 to update the data to meet the needs of our growing community. We plan on resubmitting our plans in late spring and we hope to have some good news to share with the community after the business case is received.”
Some of the potential changes to the business case may include a revision of the number of beds in the hospital and determining if some of the hospital services can be shifted into the health village. CPDMH is working with LHIN planners to plan a submission that contains an amalgamated acute care/health village campus. The revised business case will then be submitted to both the LHIN Board and the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care.
When the proposal is resubmitted, the business case must be approved by the Provincial Cabinet. Once this approval is obtained, the project can then advance to the next major planning stage by developing a Functional Program. The functional plan will also have to be approved before construction can begin.
“We know the community has a lot of questions regarding the timeline to build a new hospital and may have become frustrated with the waiting,” continued Mrs. Surko. “We appreciate their patience and continued support. We are also indebted to the councils of both Carleton Place and Beckwith who are firmly behind our plans to build a new Hospital.”
When approved, the new and enlarged hospital will be located across from the intersection of Lake Avenue East and Maple Lane.
