Construction on the Cypress Regional Hospital's exterior will carry into the fall season.

The exterior finish on the Swift Current building is being replaced along with some insulation at a cost of around $1.3 million.

According to the Saskatchewan Health Authority, there were issues with the initial installation of the exterior finishing, which led to the need to replace the finishing and insulation.

The SHA didn't have a specific date for when the job should be completed but said sometime this fall.
