CHS Project Team

Children’s Hospital of Saskatchewan Project Team is currently made up of both Saskatoon Health Region employees and external consultants including project managers and architects.

The project team will continue to grow as we delve further into design, get closer to drawing up construction documents (blueprints) and starting construction.

Departmental User Groups

Each group has responsibility for the design of a specific area of the new hospital. Each group includes clinical staff and physicians, non clinical staff, architects, engineers, and other consultants as required. These groups focus on the areas of outpatient care services, inpatients care services, emergency services, clinical support areas, administration and support services and general support services.

Participants were chosen or assigned by the various departments, and in some cases, an invitation was extended to an entire area for participation.

If you are an employee of Saskatoon Health Region or physician and are interested in becoming involved in these user groups, please talk to your manager or department head.
