Old High Prairie Health Complex demolition funded in Budget 2021
The provincial government has highlighted two health care projects in Northwestern Alberta which will receive a total of $43 million in Budget 2021.
The projects in High Prairie and La Crete were outlined during an announcement Thursday in Calgary. Health Minister Tyler Shandro said $8 million over the next three years will be going towards the demolition of the old High Prairie Health Complex, in preparation of redevelopment of the land.
“The community has been asking for us for this for years,” said Shandro. “They’ve been asking previous governments as well for years. And we’re pleased to support it.”
Alberta Health Service also received approval back in February to also demolish the old J.B. Wood Nursing Home and old EMS station, alongside the old hospital.
