The Preeceville Hospital is currently undergoing major construction and renovations work and when completed will be known as the Preeceville & District Integrated Health Care Facility. 

As an Integrated Health Care Facility, services of the doctor’s medical clinic, 10 acute care beds and 40 long-term care beds will be housed under one roof. 

P3 Architects of Regina/Saskatoon have designed this facility and are overseeing the works contracted to General Contractor – HLM Construction. Construction on the project commenced on May 1, 2007 and is anticipated to be completed on October 31, 2008. The project will be completed in three stages with the first being the new construction of the long-term care area, second being the renovations of the acute care area and the third being renovations of the administration and medical clinic area.

The total project is estimated to cost approximately Ten Million Dollars. The Provincial Government has committed 65% of the project costs ($6.5 Million) and the remainder 35% ($3.5 Million) is the share that the local area is responsible for. The local area is also responsible for additional furnishing costs, estimated at approximately $140,000.00.  At this time, Jan 2008, total cash available to this project is $2,135,293.08 which leaves a shortfall of about $1,500,000.00.

In order to raise the local funds, many fundraising activities are on the go or are being arranged. The current activities are Movie Night, Mushers’ Rendezvous, Rockin @ the River and donation requests from corporations, individuals, clubs and organizations. Events that are in the process of being organized are a live merchandise auction  for April 27, 2008,  local donations auction for later in the summer and spring/summer bingo nights.
