Facility Renewal and Capital Infrastructure NeedsOctober 2010

Chatham-Kent Health Alliance is a partnership of 3 hospital corporations: Public General ( PGH), St. Joseph’s Hospital ( SJH) and Sydenham District Hospital (SDH).

Request to review current state and capital needs for facility upgrades

PGH – dates back to 1954 SDH – dates back to 1955 Both facilities have reached a critical point in their

life expectancy and are in need of major investment to maintain patient and staff safety.


!magine redevelopment project is 10 plus years away

Inadequate resources available over the years to support infrastructure upgrades

Sydenham and Public General buildings are outdated and do not meet code in many areas, (i.e. building, medical gas, fire codes, etc.)


Costs are estimates Many upgrades cannot be done in isolation of one

another Any changes to current systems will require all code

upgrades Significant capital facility upgrades will require

Ministry approval Cannot bring certain systems up to code given

building structure limitations Does not include capital needs for the SJC or offsite

properties, i.e. 47 Emma, MHA, adjacent houses. Multi-year coordinated plan and dedicated annual

resources required to proceed with any upgrades

Facility Renewal and Capital Infrastructural NeedsOctober 2010 – Sydenham Campus

We require an investment of approximately $27,000,000- $30,000,000 to maintain this facility in an acceptable state

Costs are construction related costs only. Relocation, moves, temporary set ups etc. needs to be factored into to overall project

Additional Engineering study required if direction is to proceed with only sections of the building upgraded as systems are interconnected

Recommendation – dedicated resources to maintain facility while proceeding to fast track cost of a new facility

Additional Engineering study required if direction is to proceed with only sections of the building upgraded as systems are interconnected


Recommendation: Dedicated capital resources

needed annually for next 5-10 years to maintain building to acceptable levels

Continue to proceed with Master Program/ Master Planning costing out complete renewal replacement


Next Steps Priority list – safety issues and required capital Site visit with Engineers from Cohos Evamy

October 28, 2010. Additional assessment and recommendations of capital projects as it relates to future development
