Saskatchewan Blue Cross is investing $50,000 to help expand care at Saskatoon City Hospital. The funding will help add more hospital beds and health-care workers, and improve access to health care for residents.
The investment in the Saskatoon City Hospital Acute Care Expansion project will help more patients receive the right care at the right time, closer to home. The $50,000 donation from Saskatchewan Blue Cross will help equip the hospital’s new High Acuity Unit, where patients requiring specialized care can receive treatment quickly.
Saskatchewan Blue Cross President and CEO Kelly Wilson said the donation reflects the organization’s commitment to supporting healthier communities and making sure Saskatchewan residents can access the care they need when they need it. The funding will help support the expansion, which began in 2025. It is one of the largest increases in acute care capacity at Saskatoon City Hospital, as it will add 109 new acute care beds, more than 500 new staff and physicians, and a 14 per cent increase in acute care capacity in Saskatoon hospitals.
For 80 years, Saskatchewan Blue Cross has been committed to delivering exceptional health and wellness benefits, travel insurance, and life insurance solutions to Saskatchewan residents and employers. The local not-for-profit organization is recognized as one of Saskatchewan’s top employers and one of the top 100 companies in Saskatchewan.
