- Manitoba says a temporary emergency department at Dauphin Regional Health Centre remains on track to open by Sept. 7.
- The unit will operate on the hospital's main floor with temporary power, water and other services while repairs continue.
- A July flood forced the evacuation of all patients, and some services will remain at other regional hospitals during the restoration.
Manitoba says Dauphin will have a temporary emergency department by Sept. 7, nearly two months after extensive flooding forced the regional hospital offline and led to the evacuation of every patient.
The temporary ER will operate on the main floor of Dauphin Regional Health Centre. It will rely on temporary power, water and other services while crews continue repairs in other parts of the building.
The flood damage has raised concerns about access to health care in the region. Some officials have said restoring the health hub fully could take a year, but the government has not provided a timeline for completing all repairs.
A mobile CT unit is expected to begin operating at the site within several weeks. Dialysis and chemotherapy will continue at other hospitals in the region while the Dauphin facility remains under repair.
