The Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre is the first Public-Private Partnership (P3) Hospital built in British Columbia and the first LEED Gold certified hospital in Canada.
The Hospital has a total area of approximately 63,000 square metres distributed over five levels. It is situated on approximately 10 hectares of land in Abbotsford, British Columbia, bound by the Trans-Canada Highway to the south, Gladwin Road to the west and Marshall Road to the north.
This 300-bed, state-of-the-art facility is three times larger than the current acute care hospital it is replacing. It provides enhanced and specialized health services to more than 150,000 people in the Abbotsford area and up to 330,000 in the Fraser Valley. A cancer treatment centre, which is run by the BC Cancer Agency, has been integrated into the hospital's design, and provides diagnosis and treatments such as MRIs, radiation and chemotherapy, kidney dialysis and specialized surgeries.
Access Health Abbotsford (AHA) is the P3 consortium selected for the design, construction, financing and maintenance of this facility. PCL Constructors Westcoast Inc. is the consortium partner responsible for design and construction.
