“For the community here in Tweed, this facility means hundreds more hospital beds, more ED treatment spaces, and more single patient rooms,” Regional Health Minister, Ryan Park, said.
“New services at the hospital are estimated to benefit 5000 patients each year by giving them access to care locally, without needing to travel outside the region as was previously the case,” Park added.
