“The new St. Paul’s at the Jim Pattison
Medical Centre will establish a new stan-
dard for health care and for community
building,” says Mary Ackenhusen, Presi-
dent and CEO, Vancouver Coastal Health.
The site offers a once-in-a-lifetime oppor-
tunity to create a hospital that’s purpose
built to put people first. A world-class
facility for the 21st century that remains
true to the core philosophies of compas-
sion, social justice and innovation. It’s a
place where the best and brightest will
work together to heal the sick, collabo-
rate on new discoveries and mentor the
next generation of health-care providers.
It’s truly so much more than a hospital —
it’s the beginning of a new era in health
care for British Columbians.”

tions beds and programs, ambulatory
