Civic Campus - Intensive Care Unit

The issue

• Growth in patient demand has been rising by 10 per cent annually since 1996.
• The ICU runs at 106 per cent capacity on an ongoing basis.
• Outdated equipment and cramped facilities hamper the staff’s ability to provide the best possible care.

The solution

• A $5.9-million renovation project slated for completion in 2009.

Expected benefits

• Installing state-of-the-art equipment, such as monitors and ventilators, to meet the demands of patient care and complex diseases and injuries.
• Expanding patient areas, storage and teaching areas.
• Ensuring patients have access to natural light to encourage faster recovery.
• Taking advantage of modern ergonomic solutions such as the "medical service columns" for better patient care.

This capital expansion project will cost a total of $5.9 million. The Ontario government committed $4.1 million and requires that we seek $1.8 million in community support to complete this project.
