Historically, there were few doctor’s offices, medical buildings, or services near Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. When we first brought the concept of an integrated hospital campus to City Hall, we wanted to advocate for a hospital that could adequately serve the population North of the Malahat—an area that represents half the population of Vancouver Island. We envisioned a hospital surrounded by buildings where medical professionals could set up their practices all within close proximity, with services like a restaurant, pharmacy, medical lab, X-ray, and a hotel all connected by pedestrian-first walkways and parking.

Today, after two decades of work with the City to create the zoning needed for hospital campus lands, we are building that vision. With several medical buildings already complete and three new buildings coming in the next couple of years.
