The scope of the emergency department (ED) expansion originally planned with the Boundary Trails Health Centre (BTHC) expansion has essentially doubled. That from Kyle MacNair, Southern Health-Santé Sud's Implementation Lead for Clinical Programming.

"What's kind of shifted over time is really realizing this is kind of a singular opportunity to get that expansion as large as possible," explained MacNair who noted, initially, the plan was to renovate the about 3,000 square feet currently dedicated to the existing health records department which is being moved out of that space.
