This month the National Ethnnic Press and Media Council Of Canada (NEPMCC) introduced the Humber Regional Hospital, the first totally digital hospital In North America

The Humber Regional Hospital (HRH) is going to open in 2015 to accommodate 656 patients and will be the first totally digital hospital in North America.

Eighty percent of the patients will have single rooms with television, a laptop computer that gives instant diagnoses to the patient, room to accommodate family members or others to stay overnight a private washroom that can be showered down with antiseptic.

The beds are also high tech, giving instant diagnoses and sending them to the nurse on her hand held computer. These innovations are time saving and helpful. Robots will be assisting in the operating room, where they will enable surgeons to perform delicate procedures with a remarkable level of precision.

The HRH is going to amalgamate the old Church Street, Jane/Finch and Keele sites, which will be sold for development and its area of influence goes from Bolton on the North West, Highway 404 and parallel to King City on the North East down to Don Valley Parkway and Todmorden Village on the South East and Islington City Centre West on the south west.

“The government will only build the shell of the building but we the citizens and corporations need to equip it at 225 million dollars by opening time,” said Ms. Heather Hurst, President and CEO of the HRH Foundation. “So far we have raised 52 million dollars but we still have a way to go ,” she adds.

Further innovations are fast streaming of patients though nine doors, to each discipline where assessment is conducted and then immediately to the ward and to the doctor specialists.

This excellent innovation in medicine should be supported and cheered on especially if one lives in the area of influence.
