mproved access to life-saving health care is on the
way to downtown Vancouver with the approval of
the business plan for a new St. Paul’s Hospital.
“For over 125 years, people in Vancouver and across
British Columbia have benefitetd from the health care
provided by St. Paul’s Hospital,” said Premier John
Horgan on February 15th, 2019. “Today, we are safe-
guarding these life-saving services by taking action to
build a brand-new St. Paul’s Hospital that will serve more
people and offer better access to the specialized care
people need.”
Doors of the new $1.9-billion St. Paul’s are expected to
open in 2026 and will be located at 1002 Station St.
“British Columbians have always expressed great confi-
dence, and taken great comfort, in the care delivered
by St. Paul’s. After more than a decade and a half of
stalling, it is exciting to give the green light to a new,
state-of-the-art St. Paul’s Hospital that will continue this
legacy for many years to come,” said Adrian Dix, Minister
of Health. “Our government has made it a priority to see
this project move forward, so that St. Paul’s continues to
serve people around the province now and in the future.”
