The Hill-Burton program, formally known as the Hospital Survey and Construction Act, was a pivotal turning point in the advancement of rural healthcare in the United States. Signed into law in 1946, this legislation transformed the landscape of rural health by providing crucial construction grants and loans for building healthcare facilities in communities that previously lacked them. Enabling the construction of nearly one-third of U.S. hospitals by 1975, the Hill-Burton program brought essential medical services to the doorsteps of many rural communities, enhancing healthcare accessibility significantly. Even after its direct funding ended, the legacy of the Hill-Burton program continued. Now, with over 1300 Critical Access Hospitals currently active in the United States, many have reached the turning point for them to be replaced, expanded, or updated in order to continue serving their rural communities. In 2022 Stroudwater Capital Partners - Rural Healthcare and Stroudwater Associates released the 2022 Rural Hospital Replacement Facility Study considering data from all Critical Access Hospitals replaced between 2000-2019 and in fall of 2025 the updated study will be released extending the data from 2000-2023. Learn more from the current study and its findings here: https://lnkd.in/dVBWGubQ On this #NationalRuralHealthDay we celebrate rural healthcare and remind our rural health communities and partners that the role of Stroudwater Capital Partners - Rural Healthcare is to serve you and work alongside you to keep the future of your community looking bright. If you are ready to ask the questions about what it takes to replace, update, or expand your facility, we are here to talk: info@stroudwatercapital.us #PowerOfRural #ruralhealth #ruralhealthcare #CriticalAccessHospital #capitalproject #USDA #communityfacilites

New Cowichan District Hospital reaches milestone People in the Cowichan region are one step closer to a new hospital as the diagnostic and treatment centre on site reaches structural completion. “Improved access to health care for people in the Cowichan region is on the horizon. This project reflects our government’s commitment to strengthening health services across the province and will provide people in Cowichan greater access to the care they need in a state-of-the-art hospital that will serve the region for generations to come,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of Health. “The vision for the new hospital is to create a welcoming place of healing and hope, with a focus on the highest quality care that is culturally safe and respectful.” The centre will house outpatient and diagnostic-care services, including an emergency department, medical imaging, ambulatory care, a pharmacy and cafeteria and will be linked to an inpatient tower through a community hall. Following structural completion of the centre, work will continue on its interior, while structural work continues on the seven-storey inpatient tower and service centre. Construction of the 204-bed hospital is on track for completion in 2026, and is expected to be ready for patients in 2027. It will be the first fully electric hospital in B.C. It is being built to LEED Gold standards, featuring an 80% reduction in operational greenhouse gas emissions compared to the current hospital. Total budget for the project is nearly $1.5 billion, provided by the Province through Island Health - Vancouver Island Health Authority, Cowichan Valley Regional District and Cowichan District Hospital Foundation. The replacement project is being delivered by the Nuts’a’maat Alliance, a fully integrated team comprised of participants from Island Health - Vancouver Island Health Authority, EllisDon, Parkin Architects, BC Infrastructure Benefits Inc. and Infrastructure BC. Jeff Good, vice-president, projects and corporate affairs, Infrastructure BC; and chair, Nuts’a’maat Alliance leadership team – “Seeing the Cowichan District Hospital Replacement Project progress from procurement into construction is incredibly rewarding. Nuts’a’maat Alliance partners, which includes Infrastructure BC, continue to work effectively to deliver a world-class hospital that will serve the people of Cowichan Valley for decades.” Read the full news release via https://lnkd.in/gEj-3Ffn #newhospital #communityhealthcare #healthcareinfrastructure #infrastructureinvestment #procurementleaders #publicprojects #bchealthcare #healthcareinvestment #projectplanning #projects #healthcarecommunications #communications #communicationsmanagement

Work is continuing to progress on the development of a new Community Diagnostic Centre at the heart of Grimsby town centre. Five units within Freshney Place Shopping Centre are being transformed into a hub where you will be able to go and have a wide range of diagnostic tests, creating up to 150,000 additional appointments a year. Due to open to patients in autumn this year, we will be able to offer a range of services, including ophthalmology, non-obstetric ultrasounds and a mix of pathological and physiological tests, such as ECGs and X Rays. GPs will be able to refer patients to a centre, which are not only more convenient for patients but are also more efficient for staff and free up clinicians’ time to help further cut NHS waiting lists. Following the initial internal demolition phase, the full scale of the new centre can now be seen and, today, Great Grimsby MP Lia Nici visited the site to find out more. Adding that “people are really excited” about the development, Ms Nici was given the guided tour by project leads from the NHS Humber Health Partnership – the new group made up of Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust and Hull University Teaching Hospitals Trust – finding out more about our plans to create approximately 60 new jobs and help local businesses by increasing footfall within the town centre. Group Director of Strategy and Partnership, Ivan McConnell, said: “There are great opportunities for people to grow and develop their skills. “We will need administration staff and clinical staff to carry out multiple roles. “There are also other benefits to the local community. If we’re seeing an average of 2,500 people a week, many of which are likely to bring people with them, that’s about 220,000 people hitting the shopping centre, going for a coffee or something to eat, visiting the local pharmacies, or popping into the shops. “It will also remove some of the need for people to go to our acute hospital sites, making it easier for patients and visitors to access the services they need and reduce the demand for parking.” More details about potential job roles at the centre will be released later in the year.
