Health care needs are evolving and redevelopment projects in Nova Scotia's two largest centres present a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rethink and rebuild the way we deliver health care. The plans are focused on making our health care system stronger to ensure the needs of Nova Scotians remain at the heart of everything we do. Together, these projects will help support the health care of all Nova Scotians today, and for future generations. The intent is to provide a long-term road map for development to provide "Connected Care for Nova Scotians" for the next 50 years, ensuring that the appropriate programs and services are provided in the right locations to achieve excellence in health, learning and research. A key driver for this project is to upgrade the facilities to meet the desired healthcare standard, which the current aging infrastructure become increasingly unable to accommodate.
Do you want to be a part of the redevelopment of Healthcare Facilities for the Province of Nova Scotia? We are currently seeking innovative, out of the box thinkers to join our team. Are you a team player? Collaborative thinker?
