A new and expanded intensive care unit at the Nanaimo Regional General Hospital will open to patients next week.
British Columbia Health Minister Adrian Dix visited the Harbour City facility on Monday to announce that construction on the new 12-bed facility is complete."We heard the needs of people in Nanaimo, and I'm proud that our government responded with a new ICU that provides both a technological upgrade and an expansion in size to provide better health-care services," said Dix.
The existing 10-bed intensive care unit was built in 1970 and is outdated in its functionality, according to the ministry.
