Alberta’s government is investing $3.25 million, matched by the Glenrose Hospital Foundation, to build a new therapeutic pool at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital.

To ensure that Albertans have access to modern rehabilitation services, Alberta’s government is investing $3.25 million through the Capital Maintenance and Renewal Program to support the construction of a new therapeutic pool at the Glenrose Hospital. The Glenrose Hospital Foundation will fund the remaining 50 per cent of the project, bringing the total investment to $6.5 million. The new pool is expected to be operational by 2028.

The Glenrose Hospital is Canada’s largest free-standing comprehensive rehabilitation hospital, providing specialized care for patients of all ages so they can participate fully in daily life. Aquatic therapy is an important service, offering patients with complex health needs a safe, low-impact environment to build strength, manage pain, and recover from musculoskeletal, neurological and psychological conditions. Thousands of Albertans rely on this care each year.

“A new therapeutic pool will enhance care for patients with complex conditions now and into the future. I commend the Glenrose Hospital Foundation and dedicated health care staff for their commitment to improving patient care.”

Matt Jones, Minister of Hospital and Surgical Health Services
