Verdun Hospital Unveils State-of-the-Art Pavilion for Enhanced Patient Care
Verdun Hospital celebrated a significant moment with the official inauguration of its expansive new pavilion. The cutting-edge facility spans over 24,000 square meters across five floors, revolutionizing outpatient services and modern care units for improved healthcare delivery.
Featuring a total of 144 individual rooms, the pavilion not only enhances patient comfort but also prioritizes efficiency and sustainability. Health Minister Christian Dubé praised the initiative as a pivotal step towards enhancing access to quality care while fostering a safer and more compassionate environment for patients and staff alike.
Geneviève Biron, President and CEO of Santé Québec, emphasized the pavilion’s role in elevating patient experience and staff engagement, ultimately dedicating more time to personalized care. The new facility holds promise in strengthening the healthcare network of the region, a sentiment echoed by health officials during the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
One of the key highlights of the pavilion’s design is its emphasis on accessibility and patient-centered care. Mobile workstations, assigned to each nurse, facilitate seamless movement within the unit while promoting digital access to patient information. This innovative approach aligns with the hospital’s eco-friendly goals of reducing paper waste and enhancing operational efficiency.
Daniel Murphy, medical co-promoter of Verdun Hospital, underscored the importance of the pavilion’s inclusive designs, particularly in catering to patients with mobility challenges. By integrating features such as adjustable lighting, touch-free blinds, and private bathrooms, the pavilion aims to provide a holistic healing environment for patients and their families.
The hospital’s expansion project, valued at $386.2 million, signifies a commitment to modernizing healthcare infrastructure and elevating standards of care. Supported by a generous $1 million donation from the Fondation Santé Urbaine, the project reflects a collective effort to enhance healthcare delivery in the community.
As the pavilion unfolds in phases, with the first floor set to open before the holidays, Verdun Hospital anticipates a progressive transformation in its services and facilities. The journey towards a fully digital healthcare system remains a priority, as the hospital continues its mission to provide exceptional care while embracing technological advancements.
