PHASE 3
In August, 2011, Credit Valley received Ministry approval and funding to proceed with the expansion of the ER, Surgery and Critical Care Unit. The expansion won’t happen in the same way without community support.
Families depend on us. Your support helps ensure we meet our community’s growing needs with the next phase of our development.
What does this mean for The Credit Valley Hospital site?
Emergency - Our vision is to be the role model of Emergency care for the country. We are already a provincial leader in reducing ER wait times. We have achieved this despite working in a 25 year old space. As one of the top five busiest Emergency Departments in Canada, last year we treated 90,000 people in a facility designed to treat 55,000.
PHASE 3 means:
• Expanded clinical support services, such as diagnostic imaging to keep up with demand
• More efficient flow of patients, enhanced quality of care and increased personal privacy and dignity for patients
• Increase space from 16,990 sq. feet to 28,616 sq. feet
Critical Care - The Level 3 Critical Care Unit provides monitoring and treatment of medical and surgical patients with life threatening illness.
PHASE 3 means:
• The creation of a state-of-the-art unit which will expand from 16 to 24 beds
• An increase from the current 8,715 sq. feet to 16,687
Surgical - We have the opportunity to dramatically and fundamentally change the surgical landscape at our hospital – and in the GTA.
PHASE 3 means:
• Five new state-of-the-art operating rooms
• Expanded recovery areas for both inpatient surgery and day surgery
• Increased space from 19,295 sq. feet to 39,995 sq. feet
