Construction is underway to bring more intensive care beds to Nanaimo.
Island Health’s Chief Medical Executive Ben Williams said the new state-of-the-art facility at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital will replace the existing one, which opened in 1970.
He said it will allow staff to offer the best care possible.
“This new ICU is larger, twelve beds rather than 10, its state-of-the-art, the rooms are much larger, we can have all the equipment that we need to provide critical care and we have lifts to keep our staff safe for moving patients, there’s space for dialysis, for breathing machines, for complex infusions of medications, all the complex services that you, or I, or our families might need if we’re really sick.”

At the inquest into his death held at Brighton Coroner’s Court on Monday, the court heard Ben had gone to bed at about 11.30pm on the Friday evening while Philip had stayed up to watch television.

Several years ago, Baylor business professor Stacie Petter and then-doctoral candidate Laurie Giddens (MSIS ’02, PhD ’17) bonded in a Baylor classroom over their shared passion to fight human trafficking. They knew their discipline, information systems, could be a tool in that fight, but weren’t sure exactly how to blend their work with their desire to serve.
