11 requiring careful coordination between operational hospital services and ongoing construction activity. A LONG-TERM HEALTH SYSTEM ASSET Once operational, the New St. Paul’s Hospital will become a central acute care facility for Vancouver and a major referral hospital for the province. It is expected to serve patients requiring high-acuity, specialized, and complex care across multiple disciplines. Beyond the hospital itself, the Jim Pattison Medical Campus has been planned as a long-term development platform with potential for additional research, clinical, and support facilities over time. This includes space for future expansion as healthcare demand and medical technologies evolve. Providence Health Care has positioned the project as a structural investment in the future of the provincial health system. In its official communications, the organization emphasizes that the goal is to build a facility capable of delivering care “where and when it’s needed most,” while supporting integrated service delivery across disciplines. As the project moves toward completion in 2027, the New St. Paul’s Hospital is expected to replace one of the province’s oldest acute care facilities with a modern, integrated health campus designed for long-term adaptability, increased capacity, and closer alignment between clinical care, research, and education.
