One of the benefits of the new hospital will be a Level III Trauma Centre
Terrace is set to play a significant role in providing a regional orthopedic service when the new Mills Memorial Hospital opens later this year.
Northern Health official Sarah Artis described the addition of orthopedics to Terrace as an overall regional expansion. Artis also placed orthopedic surgical services within the scaling up of the new Mills to a Level III trauma service. With orthopedics closely allied to trauma care, Artis said there may be times when patients up for elective surgery will be sent to other northwest hospitals.
