PROJECT
A new Community Outpatient Centre will be built in Bayers Lake. The centre will offer several of the same types of clinics, treatments, and services that are currently provided at the Victoria General and Halifax Infirmary sites, however, the new outpatient centre will be a more convenient option with ample parking for the thousands of Nova Scotians who have to travel to Halifax for these services.
The project has been designed through extensive stakeholder engagement and input from hundreds of clinical and non-clinical staff through more than 15 end-user groups. Kasian Architecture led the master planning process and incorporated this stakeholder input into the development of a modern, technologically advanced, innovative Community Outpatient Clinic.
104 clinical spaces are being created and will support delivery of:
- Primary Care
- Medical/Surgical Clinics and Procedure Room (services to include endocrinology, hypertension and plastics)
- Diagnostic Imaging (x-ray, ultrasound and bone density)
- Specimen Collection and Laboratory Receiving
- Eye Care
- Orthopedic Assessment Centre and Rehabilitation
- Hemodialysis (24 dialysis stations)
- INSPIRED (Respirology)
