The new Dr. F.H. Wigmore Hospital has been open for 10 days, and we are now getting a chance to hear how busy it was on moving day, October 20th.

Cheryl Craig, Five Hills CEO says they had some challenges.

"The day we were moving our patients, I had started my morning at the Union Hospital and we had 3 patients that we had to move to the new hospital, so we hit the ground running. We staffed the Moose Jaw Union Hospital emergency room as well as the new hospital. Those working at the Union Hospital were there until the last patient left the building."

Craig says that everything has gone well in terms of staff at the new regional hospital.

"I can't say enough about how committed that staff and those physicians are to making the improvements in that new space. Lots of good ideas coming through already, and we're looking at trying some of them already."

She added that many of the specialists at the new hospital are raving about their new work spaces.
