NEW! - What We Heard Report

As announced in August 2021, the Government of Manitoba will be making investments to enhance health services across Manitoba, including building a new hospital in Portage la Prairie. This investment will strengthen clinical services for residents of Portage la Prairie and surrounding communities and mark a significant step toward more consistent, equitable and high-quality care for all Manitobans.

The new $283-million, two-storey hospital will be at least double the size of the existing facility and is expected to include:

  • a minimum of 90 acute care inpatient beds;
  • increased day surgery capacity so more patients can have procedures performed without needing to travel to Winnipeg, Brandon or elsewhere in the health region;
  • an expanded emergency department designed to best practice standards that include treatment and assessment rooms, a trauma room, stretcher bay and an ambulance bay; and
  • enhanced space for a number of programs including diagnostics, dialysis, palliative care and various outpatient services which include lab and rehabilitation.

As part of building a new hospital that is designed to meet the needs of health-care workers, patients and their families, capturing input from individuals and groups that access care at the facility is an important priority.

This questionnaire is designed to gather feedback from you about your perception and experiences at the current facility. The survey primarily is seeking your input on physical and environmental matters, such as parking, lighting, wayfinding, etc. Your input will help inform planning for the construction of this new hospital.
