Construction for the new renal dialysis unit at Bethesda Regional Health Centre concluded in the fall of 2023. Southern Health-Santé Sud has been working closely with Manitoba Renal to transition eligible patients to the new six bed unit. A soft launch of the unit took place in October and has seen a steady increase in patient load ever since. The new unit has the capacity to provide dialysis treatment for up to 24 patients.

The new renal dialysis unit is phase one of a significant expansion of inpatient services underway at Bethesda Regional Health Centre.

Expansion Features

• 15 additional acute-care medicine beds and eight surgical beds, to support additional surgical capacity in targeted areas;
• 3 new state-of-the art operating theaters
• facility upgrades to accommodate palliative and end-of-life care, chronic and cardiopulmonary disease, and women’s health;
• pharmacy upgrades to allow the site to provide chemotherapy treatment and establish Bethesda Regional Health Centre as a regional hub for cancer care services

Timeline

The new renal dialysis unit opened in October 2023. Overall completion of the expansion project is anticipated for 2026/27.
