The Strathcona Regional District (SRD), in collaboration with the Campbell River Hospital Foundation and Seymour Pacific Homes, has officially broken ground on the transformative Just Like Home Lodge & Healthcare Workforce Housing initiative.

The launch was marked by a celebratory gathering of community members, government officials, and project partners—united by a shared vision to improve healthcare access across the North Island and Central Coast.

Just Like Home Lodge will offer a welcoming, affordable sanctuary for patients and their families who must travel to Campbell River for specialized medical treatment—ensuring comfort and support during challenging times.

Healthcare Workforce Housing will introduce 20 new rental suites designed to attract and retain vital healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, and support staff, helping to strengthen the region’s medical infrastructure.

Construction is officially underway, with the project slated for completion in the summer of 2026.
