Revitalising KEMH

Improvements continue in the existing KEMH building. Here is what is happening now:

• On the fourth floor, Perry Ward’s patient room and nurses’ station upgrades are nearly complete.

• On the ground floor, the Doctors’ Lounge refurbishment is complete, and provides a quiet area with

workstations where doctors can dictate to our digital transcription service, review digital diagnostic

images, lab tests and reports, update electronic patient records via computer, consult with colleagues

or review medical journals.

• Major alterations to the Emergency, CT and MRI (digital scanning) areas are in the final planning stages

and will result in more privacy and comfort for those waiting for service. The re-designed space will

include a large waiting room and children’s play area, and a larger pharmacy with its own waiting area.

• New signs to help people find the departments and services they need will be installed inside

KEMH starting mid-April.
