The emergency room at Surrey Memorial Hospital is still several days from re-opening after flooding.
And officials have yet to determine how much it’s costing.
Repairs to the walls and floors are 90 percent done, and expected to be finished by the end of the day.
Rowena Rizzoti, the hospital’s executive director of clinical programs and operations, says the ER is set to re-open early next week.
But it’ll be a while yet until officials can figure out how much restoration and repairs will cost.
“I suspect it’ll still take us a number of days and weeks until we actually have a final tally on that total expense will be.”
More than half of the 108 cancelled surgeries have now been rescheduled, to take place over the next few weeks. Those include 11 operations for cancer patients.
