E VISION

How will Eagle Ridge Hospital supply these growing commiu-

nities with innovative and extraordinary health care today and

tomorrow?

Emergency, Surgical and Ambulatory Care Services
Planned renovations at Eagle Ridge Hospital will

expand the Emergency Unit and open a larger area for the

Ambulatory Care/DayCare Surgery Unit.
Planned renovations will also create a larger Recovery

Room, to handle the load of expanded surgical services.
The expansion of these services

will call for additional equipment.

Particularly important is the special-

ized equipment needed for minimal-

ly invasive surgical techniques,

which mean less trauma, less pain,

shorter recovery time and fewer

complications for patients.

Seniors Health Care

Be , ee ee cae "Special Care for Special People, by Special People Who Care”.
ce cee Eagle Ridge Manor, with 75 extended care beds, will provide much
ed long term care for the elderly, who will not be seen as “patients
as “residents”, with the Manor being their home. A very special initiative
has been developed with this in mind.

The “Creating Home" initiative seeks to establish an environment in
the Manor which is not institutional, but “home-like”. The interior design
calls for bold colour schemes making the Manor more accessibie to the
visually impaired. Even the artwork will provide way-finding assistance.
Landscaping plans include wheelchair accessible gardens, patios, court- —
yards and a greenhouse where residents can maintain small gardens

themselves,
