The Yukon Health System Infrastructure Plan provided a territory-wide strategy for renewing and expanding health facilities to meet long-term population needs, geographic realities, and clinical service pressures.
Background
Process
The plan evaluated the condition and capacity of existing sites and developed functional programs, costing, and implementation strategy for a future-state network of health centres, hubs, long-term care homes, and hospital infrastructure across all three hubs: Dawson City, Watson Lake, and Whitehorse.
Solution
Based on clinical and system drivers, this study produced a long-range analysis and staged renewal strategy that strengthened service integration and improved emergency response, inpatient care, primary care access, and rural health delivery. The resulting plan equipped the Yukon government for their upcoming Health Authority transition with a phased capital pathway to support safe, reliable, and sustainable health services across all Yukon communities.
