Speed to Market for Health Infrastructure

Canadian health‑care organizations are increasingly challenged by affordability pressures, capital escalation, and the limits of aging and constrained hospital sites. This session features Parkin’s leadership outlining their master planning work for the future growth of Lions Gate Hospital, including the strategic evaluation of continuing redevelopment on the current constrained site versus pursuing the acquisition of a new site. The presentation will examine how contemporary business cases and traditional master plan strategies—such as building new facilities while renovating old ones—are now routinely exceeding budgets in today’s cost environment. Parkin will share how these realities reshape long‑term planning assumptions and influence decision‑making toward models that better support sustainable, scalable future care capacity.
