ISL Health consortium named preferred proponent for new Fort St. John Hospital

EDMONTON

The Churchill Corporation has announced that the ISL Health consortium, of which Stuart Olson Constructors Inc. is a member, has been selected as the preferred proponent to work with Northern Health and the British Columbia provincial government in negotiations as part of the next steps needed toward building the new Fort St. John Hospital and Residential Care Facility project.

ISL Health was selected as the company that the province will enter into negotiations with to design, build, finance and maintain the new hospital project, following an extensive evaluation of proposals received from the two competing short-listed teams.

The next stage in the process is to conclude negotiations with ISL Health, culminating in a project agreement by early summer 2009.

Details about the agreement and final project cost will be made public after financial close.

“This is an exciting milestone in the history of healthcare in northeast British Columbia,” said Health Services Minister George Abbott.

“Across the province, we are investing in major capital projects to build new infrastructure that meets demand for quality and sustainable health care services.”

The Fort St. John Hospital project includes a 55-bed hospital, a 123-bed residential care facility for seniors and associated services.
