Summary: | A TORONTO EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT EXEMPLIFIES HOW HOSPITALS CAN HELP HEAL THROUGH HUMAN-CENTRED DESIGN. project Renew Sinai - Phase 3A Emergency Department Renovation, Toronto, Ontario architect Stantec photos Tom Arban As my parents' health slid into serious decline over the past few years, I have become a regular visitor to a handful of downtown Toronto's hospitals and emergency departments. Mount Sinai Hospital plays a vital role in the lives of many Toronto-nians, while also conducting world-class research and training. Since 2009, Stantec Architecture's Gail Hannah and Michael Moxam have been collaborating with a close-knit team of seasoned Mount Sinai administrative and clinical staff on renovations throughout the hospital's 1953 building. According to Dr. David Dushenski, Chief of Emergency Medicine at Sinai Health, following a renovation in 2000, the hospital had exceeded the emergency department's capabilities within only four years. While patient care is top of mind, in the hospital, design excellence is determined by how the space can support medical services to be delivered quickly, safely, and effectively, under what are often the most intense and life-changing circumstances. |
