The Just Like Home Lodge and Health Professionals Housing project has reached a construction milestone.
The Strathcona Regional District said in a news release a major concrete pour has completed the building’s slab-on-grade foundation, allowing the structure to soon rise above ground.
According to the regional district, the lodge is intended to provide a safe space for patients and their families travelling to Campbell River for specialized care or procedures not available in their home communities.
“Once complete, the building will provide an important resource for the region — supporting people travelling for medical care while also helping attract and retain health care professionals,” said the district.
The project, located next to the Campbell River hospital, is a partnership between the Strathcona Regional District, Campbell River Hospital Foundation and Seymour Pacific Homes.
