Dryden Hospital Expansion Set To Begin

The Dryden Hospital has received the green light from the Ministry of Health to proceed with its west wing expansion project.
Hospital CEO Andrew Skeene says a contract has been awarded to Manitoba-based firm Pentco Construction which had the lowest tender of 1.9 million dollars.
He says construction should begin within the month with a completion date slated for August.
The new west wing will house programs for mental health, substance abuse and diabetes education as well as enhanced patient food services and a general surgical clinic.
