flag Forty new hospital beds opened in Saskatoon to ease ER overcrowding, part of a larger provincial expansion.

flag Forty new acute care beds have opened at Saskatoon City Hospital, part of a provincial plan to add 109 beds by late 2026, increasing capacity by 14%. flag The beds, fully staffed and operational as of November 7, 2025, are intended to ease emergency department overcrowding by improving patient flow. flag The expansion, funded by a $60-million investment, required relocating outpatient and continuing care services to community sites like Market Mall. flag About 140 to 150 new healthcare positions have been filled, with up to 500 planned. flag Despite progress, the hospital’s emergency department remains under strain, with recent temporary closures due to physician shortages, which the government called a “one-time freak disruption.” Critics question the timing amid ongoing staffing challenges.
