We’re proud to share the Grande Prairie Regional Hospital has been awarded the 2022 International Building Award by the International Federation of Healthcare Engineering (IFHE).
On Monday, September 19, 2022, the International Federation of Healthcare Engineering (IFHE) and the Canadian Healthcare Engineering Society (CHES) presented the 2022 International Building Award to the Grande Prairie Regional Hospital at the 27th IFHE Congress and 2022 CHES National Conference held in Toronto, Ontario.
Established by the IFHE, the International Building Award focuses on healthcare buildings which represent a contribution to the 2022 Congress framework theme “Unleashing Innovation: Healthcare Engineering Excellence.” This award recognizes the importance of design in healthcare facilities, focusing on the holistic experience of not only patients and residents, but also their families and visitors, and the staff that provide human-centered care.

About Grande Prairie Regional Hospital
Located in the beautiful green plains of Grande Prairie, Alberta, the Grande Prairie Regional Hospital is a 240-bed hospital that provides a range of healthcare services including outpatient ambulatory care, emergency, diagnostics, obstetrics, surgery, pediatrics, acute geriatrics, mental health, and intensive care.
Inspired by the beautiful 30-acre site, the layout of the Grande Prairie Regional Hospital is designed to have open and inviting spaces, with deep daylight penetration into all its care and treatment rooms, providing patients and staff generous views of nature. The design is unique in how the facility respects its environment including Bear Creek and Muskoseepi Trail, and allows for aspects of nature to integrate into the building.
