REGINA — Graham Construction will be in charge of building Regina’s new $15 million Urgent Care Centre (UCC).
Saskatchewan officials announced the company has been selected as the project’s construction manager.
Graham Construction will provide services including input into the project’s design, managing all suppliers and contractors, stakeholder engagement and constructing the new centre.
“Urgent Care Centres will assist in easing capacity pressures on Saskatchewan’s emergency departments by providing a wide range of services for patients who need attention quickly,” said Health Minister Paul Merriman in a press release. “I look forward to seeing progress once construction is underway on this much-needed facility.”
When complete, the UCC will provide patient care for an illness or injury that is not life threatening, but cannot wait until the next day, including mental health and addictions supports.
The centre will offer 24-hour/seven-days-a-week access and is also expected to lower wait times for health care issues requiring urgent medical attention.
“Graham is very excited to be selected to build the Urgent Care Centre project for the Saskatchewan Health Authority,” Graham Construction general manager Duane Galloway said. “We’re looking forward to completing this important project to help alleviate some of the pressure on our emergency departments in Regina.”
The new centre will be owned and operated by the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) and will be located on SHA-owned property on Albert Street north of Dewdney Avenue.
