The new Mills Memorial Hospital is more than double the size of the current facility. This state-of-the-art facility was carefully designed to cater to the immediate and future healthcare needs of patients in Northwest BC. The hospital will offer trauma services, orthopedic surgeries, pathology, radiology, clinical support, and pharmacy services, as well as be a training ground for medical students in the Northern Medical Program. A new Seven Sisters mental health facility, almost double the size of the current facility, is also being constructed as part of the project. Along with an increase in bed capacity from 20 to 25, the new Seven Sisters will offer enhanced amenities. Both the new hospital and new Seven Sisters are set to open in 2024. Landscaping, parking and the demolition of the existing hospital will be the focus of the work in 2025 and 2026.
