CapitalCare Norwood Re-Development Project .............................................

Norwood Redevelopment Project highlights:• Joint project with Alberta Infrastructure, Alberta Health, CapitalCare and Alberta Health Services.

• $364 million expansion approved in Alberta government spring 2017 budget.

• 40,000 square metre expansion will accommodate a broad range of programs and services in a new and renovated space.

• The expansion will allow for Person Centred Care by providing healthcare services for residents in one area, reducing the need to visit several facilities throughout the city.

•

Why is expansion at Norwood needed?• Growing need in the Edmonton area for continuing care capacity including complex and post-acute care.

• Improve the operation of the acute care and continuing care systems in Edmonton by reducing the demand for emergency department visits, inpatient acute care services, and reducing continuing care placement.

• The current site is too small to accommodate the project expansion.

• In order to build a modern facility that meets current standards and needs.


Community services to be provided in the new expansion:• Specialty dental clinic

• Community paramedic program

• CHOICE – day program to keep seniors healthy and at home

• Hemodialysis

• Pulmonary rehabilitation

• Respiratory outreach and respiratory benefits program

• Facilities to support continuing care education and research


Why expand on the west side? • Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital is on the east side.

• Underground tunnels connect Norwood with Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital and the Royal Alexandra Hospital to provide vital health services and programs to residents.

• To build on other locations on the site would require shutting down building services and relocating the residents while construction is progressing.
