The new Airdrie Covenant Health Centre will house two new facilities, making it easier than ever for residents of Airdrie and surrounding communities to access a range of critical health services. A new Urgent Care and Birthing Centre will share the health centre with a new Primary, Surgical and Ambulatory Care Centre.
Airdrie’s population has almost tripled over the past 20 years, growing from about 30,000 people to more than 90,000. The new health centre will help health services keep pace with that growth and allow more residents to get the care they need closer to home.
The Urgent Care and Birthing Centre will provide care for non-life-threatening urgent health concerns, as well as maternal and birthing services. It will support about 1,000 deliveries and more than 30,000 urgent care visits per year. The attached Primary, Surgical and Ambulatory Care Centre will add capacity for about 10,000 surgical procedures annually.
