Saskatoon Urgent Care Centre over 25 percent complete
Construction on the Saskatoon Urgent Care Centre (UCC) is over 25 per cent complete. This milestone was recently announced by the Government of Saskatchewan, in partnership with Ahtahkakoop Cree Developments (ACD).
Once complete, the Saskatoon UCC will offer an alternative to emergency departments for minor illness, injuries and mental health and addiction supports that are non-life-threatening but require immediate care. The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) will operate the Saskatoon UCC under a long-term lease with ACD.
“The Saskatoon Urgent Care Centre will give patients faster access to urgent care, provided by dedicated health professionals working together as a team,” Saskatchewan Health Authority CEO Andrew Will said. “This progress would not be possible without the commitment of our partners from Ahtahkakoop Cree Developments and the Government of Saskatchewan.”
The Saskatoon UCC is an example of living the SHA CARES values of compassion, accountability, respect, equity and safety. This project reflects SHA’s commitment to reconciliation by making health care more culturally responsive and accessible. The Saskatoon UCC will enhance health-care options and outcomes, ensuring every patient receives the right care, in the right place, at the right time, from the right teams.
