Cowichan District Hospital
The new Cowichan District Hospital reflects the Province’s vision for public health-care that puts patients, families and communities at the centre of care decisions. This model integrates services across the continuum of care, and shifts non-acute care out of hospitals, bringing services closer to people in their communities. The new hospital will be 56,448 square-metres (607,601 square-feet) in size, more than three times larger than the current facility and will have capacity for 204 beds.
Gibbins Road is the perfect distance to both the existing and new hospital for job commuting and personal requirement!
