A new 377 million dollar hospital has been announced for Dawson Creek.

Health Minister Adrian Dix says it became clear during the business planning stage of the upgrade on the current hospital that a new, modern hospital was needed.

Dix says the new hospital will bring jobs to the region and help retain health-care professionals.

There will be 70 beds and the new emergency department will be double the size of the one in the current hospital with the expectation of about 25,000 visits a year.
