Surgery Department

Construction is underway and the Bethesda Regional Health Centre is getting three new operating theatres. This expansion is urgently needed as region has experienced unprecedented growth since 1964, when the current surgery department was built.

As always, finding funding for large capital projects is not easy. The Bethesda Foundation is proud to play a pivotal role in the solution, as we commit to raising $8 million to bring this essential surgery expansion to completion.

The expansion includes:

  • 3 new operating theatres
  • a pre-operative consult room
  • 12 patient care spots for pre/post-operative care
  • sterile supply room and surgical equipment disinfection and sterilization room
  • reception and waiting area for patients and family
  • new expanded lab for modern diagnostic lab equipment
  • new cultural space to support multi-denominational services
  • expanded space to support physicians, including three on-call sleep rooms

Palliative Care Enhancements

Bethesda Foundation has long had a vision to provide enhanced palliative care services in our community. Our vision is that there be a peaceful, home-like environment for people to be in during their last chapter of life. This needs to include private rooms for patient dignity, and space for families to gather.

Features include:

  • 7 enhanced private patient care rooms
  • warm paint colors, wood finishes, and artwork for less institutional feel
  • view of green space outside
  • technology in each room to facilitate virtual calls with loved ones.
  • large gathering room for families to gather, with comfortable furniture, fireplace, coffee, etc.
  • spiritual room to support multi-denominational services
