COLLINS: New hospital tower won’t be the ‘saviour’ for health care
IN TWO MONTHS, give or take, the new $417 million patient care tower at Royal Inland Hospital will open its doors.
It will have some nice new bells and whistles. The tower is supposed to modernize the Hospital.
I like some of the improvements.
It will be home to mental health and substance use units, new operating rooms, new labor and delivery rooms, and a neonatal intensive care unit. RIH says there will be inpatient units for neuroscience trauma and stroke, a new rehab unit, more parking and a helipad on the roof.
