However, the hospital is not seen as full service given that it does not offer surgeries and overnight stays. 

Strathcona-Sherwood Park MLA Nate Glubish said: “I am excited about this funding commitment, which is an important step forward to improve health outcomes locally and to ease pressures on surrounding hospitals and clinics.”

The hospital’s emergency department treats more than 46,000 patients annually and more than 21,000 patients in the ambulatory clinics. 

Around 80% of the patients it receives come from the surrounding community, with the remaining 20% from Edmonton and nearby areas.
