Fast-Tracking Life-Saving Cardiac Care

Exciting news for Red Deer and Central Alberta! The Red Deer Regional Health Foundation and the Government of Alberta announced last month the fast-tracking of a new cardiac catheterization (cath) lab at Red Deer Regional Hospital. Originally slated for completion in 2031, the lab will now be ready five years ahead of schedule. With this advancement, local patients can receive life-saving cardiac care without needing to be transferred to larger cities. This move marks a significant milestone in enhancing healthcare services and highlights the benefits of the Red Deer Regional Hospital's expansion, part of the $1.8 billion retrofit program.
