Hospital On The Move: The Extraordinary Work Behind Opening the Jim Pattison Acute Care Tower
Behind the scenes at Royal Columbian Hospital, an extraordinary effort has been unfolding. As the Jim Pattison Acute Care Tower edges toward its 2026 opening, teams across the hospital are deep into one of the most complex transitions in Royal Columbian’s history. Equipment is being installed and tested, workflows are being redesigned, and hundreds of staff are preparing to move people, programs, and technology into an entirely new centrepiece for acute and critical care in British Columbia.
