Imagine this! A brand new Emergency Department in Carleton Place!
The new ED at Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital will be built at the back of the existing hospital and connected at the first floor via a link that will include an elevator and stairs to navigate the change in elevation. It is designed to improve each patient’s experience with more treatment rooms, barrier-free, walk-in entrances, and enhanced infection control standards.
We have so much to tell you about the new ER and want to answer all your questions. We will be continually updating this page with new information, photos, and details as planning continues and construction gets underway.
