P. 15
All patients, regardless of whether they are
affected by medical conditions or mental
health conditions need space, privacy,
dignity and supported care to heal.
• The new unit will encapsulate best practices for space planning
and design for mental health care (i.e. individual rooms, outdoor
recreational spaces).
• The new wing will be connected to the hospital by a healing bridge
pathway.
• It will be a bright and soothing environment surrounded by nature.
• Light will be maximized throughout to create a therapeutic
environment.
• The new wing will be integrated into the design of the new hospital.
• We will be consulting on the design to ensure that it is a culturally
appropriate space for all.
• It will include a dedicated smudge room for our Indigenous population.
