About Maple Creek Hospital

The Southwest Integrated Healthcare Facility (SIHF) in Maple Creek, Saskatchewan is a modern, 80,000 sq ft rural healthcare hub that replaced the former Maple Creek Hospital, offering 24/7 emergency services alongside acute care, primary health, diagnostics, and long-term care all under one roof. Opened in October 2015 and operated by the Saskatchewan Health Authority, the facility serves Maple Creek and the surrounding southwest Saskatchewan region with 24 acute care beds and a team of three physicians and two nurse practitioners. As a rural integrated ER, it is well-suited for urgent and emergent care needs; patients requiring specialized trauma, cardiac, or stroke intervention can be transferred to Cypress Regional Hospital in Swift Current or Medicine Hat Regional Hospital.

Tips Before You Go

What to Bring

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Southwest Integrated Healthcare Facility's emergency department open 24/7?
Yes, the emergency department at the Southwest Integrated Healthcare Facility in Maple Creek is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays.
What is the difference between the old Maple Creek Hospital and the current facility?
The Southwest Integrated Healthcare Facility opened in October 2015 and replaced both the original Maple Creek Hospital (built in 1963, 21 acute beds) and the Cypress Lodge Nursing Home (48 beds). The new 80,000 sq ft facility consolidates emergency care, acute inpatient care, primary health, diagnostics, long-term care, and community health services all under one roof.
Does this facility have a trauma centre or specialized cardiac and stroke units?
The SIHF is a rural integrated facility and does not have a designated trauma level, dedicated cardiac unit, or stroke unit. For complex or high-acuity cases requiring these specialties, patients may be transferred to Cypress Regional Hospital in Swift Current or Medicine Hat Regional Hospital in Alberta.
Can I see a specialist at the Maple Creek facility without travelling to a larger city?
In many cases, yes. The SIHF uses telehealth technology to connect patients with specialists in larger centres remotely, reducing the need to travel. Ask ER or clinic staff whether a telehealth consultation is appropriate for your situation.
Is there a pharmacy at the Southwest Integrated Healthcare Facility?
Yes, a community pharmacist is available on-site at the SIHF, making it convenient to fill prescriptions following an ER visit or clinic appointment without needing to travel elsewhere in town.
How does the ER decide who gets seen first at this facility?
The emergency department uses a standard triage system. Patients are assessed and sorted by urgency upon arrival — those with immediately life-threatening conditions such as cardiac arrest or serious trauma are seen first, followed by very urgent cases like chest pain or breathing difficulties. Less urgent conditions are seen in order after higher-priority patients are stabilized.
