Modular and prefabricated construction presents a promising solution by allowing rapid deployment of healthcare facilities that are both functional and adaptable to community-specific cultural needs. These methods can reduce construction time and costs while ensuring the design reflects community priorities\, achieving culturally safe and patient-centered care.The Weeneebayko Area Health Authority (WAHA) Redevelopment Project in Ontario exemplifies this approach. With a $1.8 billion investment\, the project aims to modernize healthcare services across the western James Bay and Hudson Bay regions\, primarily serving First Nations communities\, through the construction of a new regional healthcare campus. This initiative leverages innovative construction approaches to address long-standing access challenges while promoting culturally responsive healthcare delivery.Session Objectives:– Identify Barriers to Healthcare Access in Remote Communities– Assess Cultural Relevance in Healthcare Facility Design– Explore Modular and Prefabricated Construction Solutions– Develop Community-Engaged Implementation Strategies– Evaluate the Impact of Regional Healthcare RedevelopmentAndrew Brimble\, Principal Architect\, Health Sector Lead\, Manitoba\, StantecBrandon Lawrence\, Senior Design Manager\, Pomerleau \n2:10 – 2:40 PM | BREAK \n2:40 – 3:20 PM | Sustainability as a Driver of Better Value Across the Healthcare Building Lifecycle Healthcare organizations are under increasing pressure to deliver more with limited capital while creating facilities that will serve patients and communities for decades. Rather than viewing sustainability as an additional cost\, this session explores how it can serve as a practical framework for making better investment decisions that improve patient outcomes\, support staff wellbeing\, strengthen operational performance\, build resilience\, and deliver long-term value.Bringing together perspectives from an owner\, contractor\, and building performance specialist\, the panel will discuss how early collaboration and whole-life perspective help project teams balance competing priorities throughout planning\, design\, construction\, and operations. Drawing on practical healthcare project experience\, the panel will examine how teams evaluate trade-offs\, prioritize investments\, and discuss the role of operational performance and post-occupancy evaluation in improving future healthcare facilities.Attendees will leave with practical perspectives on how sustainability can help inform project decisions\, balance competing priorities\, and create greater long-term value across the healthcare building lifecycle.Jolene McLaughlin\, Vice President\, Climate and Sustainability\, EllisDonKatelyn Poyntz\, Director\, Project Engineering & Energy\, Unity Health TorontoIain MacFadyen\, Building Performance and Sustainability Leader\, Parkin Architects Limited \nRoom 240/2412:40 – 3:20 PM | Building Value Through Design: Prince Edward Island’s Bold Leap in Mental Health CareImagine a place where value is created through safe freedom of movement\, inspired by patients with lived experience and informed by international innovation; a place embraced by patients\, staff\, and families as a healing oasis along the road to recovery.Recognized with a 2026 European Healthcare Design Award\, Hillsborough Mental Health Centre and Transitional Housing Pavilion\, in Charlottetown\, Prince Edward Island (PEI)\, is where design innovation meets a client to match.PEI is the smallest Canadian province\, but with one of the boldest visions for mental health: to transform care delivery from a “revolving door” model into a continuum of interwoven pathways that support recovery and long‑term success. Patients often ask how they will cope once they leave hospital. Hillsborough is designed so that question no longer needs to be asked.This transformation was made possible through storytelling\, relationship‑building\, and a collaboration. HDR in association with Sable ARC partnered with PEI’s clinical leaders to design the facility. The design team challenged the status quo and created a facility where the traditional image of “hospital” disappears. Safety and treatment are harmonized with freedom of movement\, and community is woven in as a genuine partner in care.With adaptable spaces to evolve with changing care models\, net‑zero‑ready sustainability measures\, and environments that regenerate hope through daylight\, nature\, and cultural connection\, this provides a replicable blueprint for mental health care in the region\, promoting meaningful renewal and long-term resilience. It’s a project that proves collaboration can deliver groundbreaking impact\, that evidence‑based design can regenerate trust in mental health systems\, and that architecture itself can add value by supporting both immediate recovery and long‑term community integration.This is more than a building. It’s a new vision in how to think about mental health\, how to deliver care\, and how design can inspire renewal.Eyes wide open\, PEI is taking a big leap forward.Barbara Miszkiel\, Vice President & Health Director Canada East\, HDROlivera Sipka\, Health Principal\, Senior Architect\, HDR \n3:25 – 4:05 PM | How Technology Improves Clinical Workflows\, Strengthens Patient Care Experience and Enhances Facility Operations in the New West Lincoln Memorial HospitalBuilt to serve the Grimsby community for decades\, the digital layer within West Lincoln Memorial Hospital (WLMH) was designed to not only help healthcare workers manage non-clinical tasks\, but also improve the overall patient care experience. In this panel discussion\, EllisDon and WLMH will explore how an integrated digital ecosystem can transform connected care by unifying clinical systems\, building infrastructure and IoT data into a single operational platform. Attendees will learn how a vendor-agnostic integration approach allows hospitals to move beyond point solutions toward scalable\, enterprise-wide transformation—unlocking measurable value across patient safety\, staff efficiency\, and facility performance.

This raised a critical question: How do we design from an approved functional program when clinical and community realities have already changed?The approximately $350-million redevelopment must also be delivered on a constrained brownfield site while essential clinical services remain operational.Using examples from master planning\, clinical integration\, site planning and risk management\, the presentation explores how the owner and architectural team challenged established assumptions while balancing evolving clinical needs\, financial realities\, construction risks and operational continuity.The result is a broader lesson for Canadian healthcare: infrastructure must respond to current needs while remaining adaptable and resilient as communities\, care models and technology continue to evolve.Abhishek Gupta\, Principal\, KasianWayne Willcott\, Senior Director of Corporate Infrastructure and Redevelopment\, Stevenson Memorial Hospital \n4:05 – 4:15 PM | Wrap UpMichael Keen\, CCHF Board Member and Chief Planning Officer & Vice-President\, Facilities & Services\, Unity Health TorontoNoor Esmail\, Senior Principal\, Stantec \n4:15 – 5:30 PM | Networking Reception in the Exhibition Space \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Li Ka Shing Knowledge Centre\, St. Michaels\, Unity Health\, Toronto\n8:00 – 8:45 AM | Networking Breakfast in the Exhibition Space \nMain Auditorium: \n8:45 – 9:00 AM | Welcome from ChairMike Keen\, CCHF Board Member and Chief Planning Officer & Vice-President\, Facilities & Services\, Unity Health TorontoNoor Esmail\, Senior Principal\, Stantec \n9:00 – 9:45 AM | The Evolution of Hospital Capital Planning: Earlier Direction\, Greater Consistency\, Better ValueAs Ontario’s hospital infrastructure needs continue to grow\, there is an opportunity to build on the existing capital planning process and consider how planning and decision-making can continue to evolve. This session will explore the role of earlier provincial direction-setting and greater standardization\, and stronger alignment with regional and health system priorities.

A translation app will be used\, so please bring your own earbuds if you are not fluent in French.How can we rethink the inpatient room to address today’s growing pressures on healthcare performance\, operational efficiency\, and capital costs? Through an award-winning innovation partnership between Lemay and Santé Québec CHU de Québec-Université Laval\, the Patient Room 2.0 project challenged conventional hospital design assumptions using Lean Design\, immersive prototyping\, and an evidence-based multidisciplinary process bringing together clinicians\, patient partners\, architects\, engineers\, ergonomists\, and operational experts. By evaluating measurable outcomes related to space optimization\, caregiver workflows\, energy performance\, constructability\, and patient experience\, the team developed innovative room typologies capable of reducing spatial footprints and operational demands while improving care quality and user satisfaction. The project is helping shape future healthcare design standards in Québec and received international recognition through a 2026 European Healthcare Design Award.Participants will learn how to:     – leverage Lean Design to improve healthcare performance;     – align multidisciplinary expertise around shared outcomes;     – translate evidence and measurable data into transformative design decisionsAntoine Buisseret\, Vice President of the Union of French-Speaking Architects for Health\, Associate Architect\, LemayKarine Martin\, Assistant for Cross-Functional Projects for the Assistant General Management – Major Projects\, Digital Strategies and Operational Excellence\, CHU de Québec-Université Laval \n11:00 – 11:40 AM | Panel Discussion: Closing the Loop: How Strategic Predesign Makes Activation and Accreditation PredictableHealthcare systems keep paying for uncertainty twice: first in late-stage redesign\, then again during activation firefighting. As provinces pause mega-hospital builds and rethink how care is distributed\, predesign becomes the moment to decide what genuinely belongs inside the hospital footprint—and what non-essential services can be delivered elsewhere. This panel reframes predesign as an early-established goal to ensure a common narrative from schematic design through accreditation\, while improving capacity and supporting value-based care. Predesign is when most high-impact decisions are validated: clinical model assumptions\, workflows\, adjacencies\, energy reliance\, and the anticipated digital and AI infrastructure a facility will depend on for decades will be incorporated into the facility. It is also where flexibility for the future is either built in or lost. Moving beyond bringing stakeholders together\, while defining the value of disciplined process engineering and established standards\, allows teams to produce decisions that are explicit\, well-documented\, and defensible. When that clarity exists\, activation planning and accreditation\, along with long-term sustainability of the operation\, are protected. This panel brings together a predesign lead\, a hospital planning director\, an activation partner and a specialist in equipment procurement\, to demonstrate how early clarity translates into fewer surprises on opening day.Audience takeaways:– Predesign is a simple model that tracks assumptions and a decision log through to downstream alignment– What to document so activation doesn’t re-litigate the project—and so future requirements are designed in\, not retrofitted.– How to protect design intent without becoming the “design police.”Moderator: Gyana Meera\, Founding Principal and Director\, Clover ArchitectsRobert Hofmann\, Vice President\, Redevelopment and Capital Projects\, Brant Community Healthcare SystemHelena Margiotta\, Operational Readiness Healthcare Consulting\, Principal\, StantecBrandon Bayley-Hay\, Equipment Lead\, Founder\, B3 Strategic Transformations \nRoom 240/241 11:00 – 11:40 AM | ANAP Costing of Projects in France*Parts of this session may be presented in French.

In Ontario\, that reality now shapes every capital project\, from shifting standards and construction-market volatility to trade shortages\, rising costs\, and a more fundamental question: do we even need a hospital?The New Waterloo Regional Health Network (WRHN) Hospital @ University was conceived in exactly this environment. This session examines the strategies WRHN is using to anticipate emerging issues\, adapt without losing momentum\, and pivot when conditions change—culminating in a proposed phased development for a new hospital designed to serve Waterloo Region now and into the future.Cliff Harvey\, CCHF Co-Founder and Board MemberKate Traianopoulos\, Vice President Redevelopment\, Waterloo Regional Health Network \nRoom 240/241 11:45 – 12:25 PM | Bringing Health Capital to the Community: Perceptions from the Health Facility IndustryRobin Snell\, Director\, Parkin Architects \n12:25 – 1:25 PM | LUNCH \n1:25 – 2:05 PM | Designing for Impact: Harnessing CSA Z8008 for Space Typology and Value CreationAs healthcare needs evolve\, existing facilities must adapt to support new models of care\, technologies\, and regulatory requirements. While aging hospitals and other existing buildings can often be extended or repurposed\, they may face constraints in functionality\, infrastructure capacity\, safety\, and short and long-term affordability.This session explores the practical application of CSA Z8008 as a standardized framework for assessing existing healthcare and non-healthcare facilities to determine whether repair\, renovation\, process redesign\, adaptive reuse\, or replacement provides the greatest value. Drawing on recent implementation experience\, panelists will demonstrate how the standard can support objective\, risk-based decision-making in early capital planning\, infrastructure management\, and project development to optimize investments in existing assets.After this session\, participants will be able to:– Understand how to apply the CSA Z8008 core framework to assess existing facilities and their ability to support current and future healthcare delivery.– Use standards-based\, risk-informed evaluations to guide programming\, capital investment\, and infrastructure planning decisions.– Apply practical strategies to balance functionality\, safety and quality to continue to extract value from existing healthcare assets.Gordon Burrill\, President CCHFCraig Doerksen\, Executive Director\, Capital and Clinical Engineering\, Clinical Manitoba Shared Health Stasia Bogdan\, Director\, Capital Planning and (Interim) Operational Readiness & Clinical Planning\, Unity Health Toronto\, Co-Chair of the CSA Z8008 Committee \n2:05 – 2:45 PM | Innovative Collaborative Contract Development to Accelerate Health Capital and Meet Owners’ NeedsStuart Elgie\, Architect\, Partner\, DialogKerri Culver\, Chief Planning Officer\, University Health NetworkJoe Day\, Senior Construction Manager\, EllisDon \n2:45 – 3:15 PM | BREAK \n3:15 – 4:05 PM | PANEL: What Should Healthcare Owners Be Delivering to Create Health System ValueHealthcare owners are being asked to deliver more capacity and better outcomes within tight capital and operating budgets.

So why do many healthcare navigation strategies still begin there? Healthcare navigation is more than a wayfinding initiative—it is an organizational strategy that integrates the built environment\, information\, and operations through a human-centred lens to support confident\, independent navigation throughout the patient journey. As healthcare organizations become increasingly digital and operationally complex\, navigation begins long before a patient enters a hospital. Appointment communications\, websites\, patient portals\, customer relationship management (CRM) systems\, digital navigation tools\, staff interactions\, and the built environment all influence whether people can successfully find their way. \nDrawing on practical experience integrating healthcare navigation systems with current research in information design\, this presentation introduces a practical framework for coordinating the systems that shape the patient experience. Using the patient journey as both a design and evaluation method\, it demonstrates how the built environment\, information\, and operations can be aligned to create a connected user journey. \nThe session demonstrates how governance\, information management\, consistent terminology\, and coordination across digital and physical touchpoints can strengthen patient and user experience\, improve operational consistency\, and support future-ready healthcare navigation. \n \n \n \n \n \n Key Learning Objectives\n Participants will: \n• Recognize healthcare navigation as an organizational capability that coordinates the built environment\, information\, and operations through a human-centred lens rather than as a standalone wayfinding or signage initiative.• Understand how the patient journey can be used as both a design and evaluation framework to coordinate digital and physical touchpoints across healthcare organizations.• Identify practical strategies for strengthening governance\, information management\, and operational consistency to create a connected patient journey. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Get Your Tickets URL:https://cchf.net/event/webinar-navigating-beyond-the-front-door/ CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://cchf.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/DEXD_CCHF-Webinar_Cover-Image_Original.png LOCATION:https://cchf.net/event/webinar-navigating-beyond-the-front-door/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20270505T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20270507T170000 DTSTAMP:20261006T231751Z CREATED:20260720T221507Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261006T231751Z UID:10000024-1809504000-1809709200@cchf.net SUMMARY:Vancouver 2027 - Spring Conference and Post-Conference Event DESCRIPTION:Vancouver Spring Conference and Post-Conference Event\, 2027\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Join us in Vancouver\, May 5\,6\,7\, 2027!\n \n \n \n \n \n Pre-Registration tickets available below.
