Richmond Hospital Redevelopment Project

The Richmond Hospital Redevelopment Project

Richmond Hospital will be adding a new acute care tower, the Yurkovich Family Pavilion, which includes an intensive care unit; a fully equipped medical imaging department; a pharmacy; and short-stay pediatrics. This will give Richmond, with its growing and aging population, the acute care it needs moving into the future.

The total project cost is $1.959 billion and will be shared by the provincial government ($1.889 billion), Vancouver Coastal Health ($30 million) and Richmond Hospital Foundation ($40 million).

Project scope

• Yurkovich Family Pavilion - acute care tower:
  • Cowell Family Emergency department with 86 spaces, up from 62
  • 11 operating rooms, up from eight in the Greczmiel Family Surgical Centre
  • Eight day procedure rooms, up from three
  • More pre- and post-surgical care spaces, increasing from 26 to 68
  • Earthquake-safe and constructed above the flood plain
• Milan & Maureen Ilich Medical Imaging Centre
• South Tower renovations to create new inpatient psychiatry and psychiatric emergency units
• Milan Ilich Pavilion will also be renovated and be home to the Cancer Care Clinic
