Grenada is poised to enter a transformative era in healthcare delivery as government officials prepare to break ground on Project Polaris, the nation’s most ambitious medical infrastructure initiative to date. The ceremonial sod-turning event scheduled for March 27, 2026, will officially commence construction of a state-of-the-art 250-bed medical facility designed to withstand climate challenges while revolutionizing patient care.
The future hospital represents the cornerstone of an expansive 84-acre Medical City complex in Calivigny, St. George. This cutting-edge facility will significantly enhance healthcare accessibility for residents across Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique while simultaneously advancing medical education, research capabilities, and specialized treatment services.
Ambassador Andrea St Bernard, Project Sponsor, emphasized the historical significance of the undertaking, stating: ‘This ceremony transcends mere construction commencement. It heralds a paradigm shift in our national healthcare approach. Project Polaris embodies Grenada’s dedication to creating a resilient, contemporary health system that addresses current population needs while anticipating future generational requirements.’
The government has extended an open invitation to all citizens to join the Prime Minister and Cabinet members at this landmark event. The project site will welcome attendees from 3:30 PM ahead of the 4:00 PM ceremony, marking a collective step toward healthcare transformation.
As the administration’s flagship health initiative, Project Polaris aims to fundamentally strengthen national medical infrastructure and expand availability of modern healthcare services throughout the tri-island state, establishing Grenada as a regional leader in climate-resilient medical facilities.
