Passing by Verdun Hospital, you have likely noticed the cranes, construction vehicles, and security fences. The purpose of this large construction site? Your health.
Verdun Hospital—rooted in the neighbourhood for close to a century now—is currently undergoing expansion and modernization work to better meet the needs of our growing community.
The ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux is, of course, financing the expansion of the hospital. However, the hospital is counting on us to acquire better performing, more comfortable, and more durable equipment, which will make a concrete difference in the quality of care and patient experiences throughout the entire hospital.
The foundation has committed to providing a minimum of $1 million to support Verdun Hospital’s expansion and modernization.
Once the work complete, the hospital’s surface area will increase by 60%. You are helping to fund equipment and furniture that will turn our community hospital into a state-of-the-art care centre in the heart of your neighbourhood.
By donating you are contributing to the health and well-being of the whole community.
Mobile computer workstations allow care teams to consult and update
your file in real time from anywhere in the hospital. Blood test
and X-ray results, prescriptions, vital signs—everything can now
be accessed easily and quickly. As such, staff does not need to go
back to the team workstations to check if results are in or confirm
dosages. With these mobile workstations, it is quick and easy to
access files close to the patient’s room without having to return
to the team stations. They also allow staff to transport medication
and various medical accessories so that they have everything they
need within reach. This means they can spend more time with you,
see more patients, and ensure the most efficient level of care.
The addition of a gynecological procedure room in the outpatient clinics of the new pavilion will make it possible to resume certain operating room activities.
Currently, the following gynecological activities are transferred to the Notre-Dame Hospital facilities or are performed in the operating room:
For example: evaluation of menopausal bleeding, recurrent fetal losses, primary fertility problems, suspected cancer cells, etc.
Addition of clinical conditions that often come up by gynecologists (infertility assessment, bleeding assessment (polyps, fibroids, endometriosis), infection assessment, pain assessment, difficult IUD insertion/removal)
These activities do not require the resources (infrastructure and personnel) of an operating theater and can be carried out in outpatient clinics. We would like to repatriate these activities to outpatient clinics to declutter and optimize operating room resources. We also want to avoid unnecessary travel for our patients to another hospital center, which generates additional costs and delays for patients.
Investing in specialized gynecology equipment for outpatient clinics has several advantages:
