Today, the South Bruce Grey Health Centre (SBGHC) and the Kincardine and Community Health Care Foundation (KCHCF) unveiled the long-awaited architectural drawings of the
redeveloped Kincardine hospital—marking the first time the community has seen what the future facility will look like.
The drawings were revealed at an event that also recognized the Municipality of Kincardine and the Township of Huron-Kinloss for their generous support toward the redevelopment project, which will modernize and expand critical hospital areas to meet the needs of patients today and for generations to come.
The new Emergency Department, Medical Imaging, and Laboratory spaces will be two and a half times larger than the current footprint. The redevelopment includes Bruce County’s first MRI, a transformative addition that will allow patients to receive advanced imaging in a timely manner close to home.
“This is an exciting and historic moment for our community,” said Nancy Shaw, CEO, SBGHC. “These new renderings show a modern, welcoming, and purpose-built hospital designed to meet the growing and changing needs of the patients we serve. The expanded Emergency Department, Diagnostic Imaging, and Laboratory will significantly enhance our ability to deliver high-quality, timely care—including the addition of the MRI, which will be a game-changer for local access to diagnostic services.”
The KCHCF launched an ambitious $18 million campaign in 2022 to fund the local share of the redevelopment. With strong community support, $14 million has already been raised, leaving $4 million still needed to complete the project.
“Today’s unveiling is a powerful reminder of what this community can achieve when we come together,” said Becky Fair, President, KCHCF. “These drawings reflect not just a building, but a promise – better care, closer to home, for every family in Kincardine, Huron-Kinloss, and across our region. We are deeply grateful to every donor who has helped us reach this point. With $4 million left to raise, we invite the community to join us in finishing this once-in-a-generation project.”
The redevelopment of the Kincardine hospital is designed to support current patient volumes while preparing for future growth, ensuring that local residents have access to modern, efficient, and patient-centred care for decades to come.
