Currently under construction, the Dartmouth General Hospital redevelopment represents the biggest healthcare upgrade project in Nova Scotia in recent years. The project includes a major addition for new surgical services with eight new operating rooms, ambulatory clinics, endoscopy services, MDRD, and a new emergency power plant. The project also includes major renovations to the existing hospital for two new inpatient units, a new and expanded intensive care unit, diagnostic imaging, a pharmacy, a new main entrance, and a seismic upgrade of the existing facility.
