The Strathcona Community Hospital is located in Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada and provides 27 emergency beds with sufficient infrastructure capacity for 36 additional beds in the future. The hospital opened to its first patient on May 21, 2014.

The hospital development was an issue in the Strathcona County municipal election, 2010: incumbent mayor, Cathy Olesen, was defeated by Linda Osinchuk who ran a campaign attacking contemporary plans for the hospital which involved no overnight beds.[1] Post election, the Alberta government announced revised plans to add beds to the hospital.

The project broke ground in 2007 and was expected to be completed in late 2009,[2] but was put on hold due to the down turn in the economy. The construction of the facility resumed in spring 2010 and was completed in 2014.[3]
