b"It's been 16 years this fall since the provincial government first announced plans for a new Western Memorial Regional Hospital. It's hard to think of a building project in this province that has been the subject of so many announcements, sod-turnings and updates. On Friday, there was another: Construction is completed. The building won't have its first patients until sometime next year. But, late last week, people got their first look inside the seven-story building in Corner Brook. Teara Freake, vice president and chief operating officer for the Western Zone with NL Health Services, spoke with reporters in a scrum."
