Aged. Tired. Crumbling. Those are words that front line staff use to describe the state of repair at Windsor-Essex’s hospitals. Most buildings are now more than fifty years old. Some are even older. Aging facilities mean that leaky roofs and boiler failures have become the ‘new normal’ for staff. In 2018, Windsor Regional Hospital spent more than $180,000 on roof repairs alone, diverting money that could’ve gone towards patient care. Boiler repairs have cost upwards of $680,000 over the past five years. The crumbling infrastructure is impacting patient service. It’s now common for procedures and surgeries to be delayed as a result of building repairs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb2ff7cfd02a37446ca38ea/1590459066166-4AVAA537L9ZP97OP75Y8/Built-For-Two.png Why WE Can't Wait https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb2ff7cfd02a37446ca38ea/1590460630956-23TNFF29O8BNV9W9EWXE/image-asset.png Why WE Can't Wait https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb2ff7cfd02a37446ca38ea/1590703479486-6GRMXPKCL60GP1G9H245/IMG_1317.jpg Why WE Can't Wait - PATIENT SAFETY and hygiene constantly at RISK In new Ontario hospitals, 80% of rooms are mandated to be single bed private to limit the spread of infection. Only 29% of rooms at the Met Campus and 16% at the Ouellette Campus are allocated for single-patient use. With limited isolation, outbreaks of influenza and Norwalk virus have become common occurrence. To make matters worse, some patient washrooms don’t even have sinks. This means that many patients have to walk across an entire floor to wash their hands after using the toilet. Overcrowding has had serious implications for Windsor Regional’s COVID-19 response. Without adequate space, the hospital has been forced to convert meeting rooms and public areas into patient units. To ensure COVID-19 patients are adequately isolated, hundreds of patient beds have been removed entirely - with makeshift hospital rooms built from tarp to control airflow. This has resulted in elective surgeries and procedures being cancelled or postponed – as there simply isn’t enough space for in-patient accommodation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb2ff7cfd02a37446ca38ea/1590500561158-RKV53201Q5Z5RJVRIX37/ct-scanner-1024x600.jpg Why WE Can't Wait https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb2ff7cfd02a37446ca38ea/1589399370094-G8V1Z9DOYJVMQWXO368R/Unknown-1.jpg Why WE Can't Wait - ONCE A GYM, NOW A FIELD COVID-19 FIELD HOSPITAL. Windsor’s location on the US border makes it an important centre for trade and commerce – but due to COVID-19, the region is also now the first line of defense. Aging infrastructure means the region doesn’t have adequate lab facilities to test the thousands of individuals crossing the border each day, or local residents. COVID-19 tests are currently shipped off to London. Inadequate infrastructure also means our hospitals don’t have surge capacity – which has resulted in the construction of an emergency field hospital at St. Claire College’s gymnasium. https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/terms-and-conditions daily 0.75 2020-05-12 https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/news daily 0.75 2026-01-28 https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/testimonial-test daily 0.75 2020-06-12 https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/sharecampaign daily 0.75 2020-06-10 https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/economic-impact daily 0.75 2021-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb2ff7cfd02a37446ca38ea/1591023151560-Q16EBPO1HRFYQ7GNAZVF/Picture3.png Economic Impact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb2ff7cfd02a37446ca38ea/1591023183959-5YQVUKDFKZJ902ARL53I/Picture11.png Economic Impact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb2ff7cfd02a37446ca38ea/1591023260438-P949QLZ7D69UFW0LFFTC/Picture5.png Economic Impact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb2ff7cfd02a37446ca38ea/1591023273759-37SKKP3CZFQ2RV2USVSC/Picture9.png Economic Impact https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/lawnsign daily 0.75 2020-07-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb2ff7cfd02a37446ca38ea/1592572561494-NYSFNTUA1CPJTQ73Q5V7/image-asset.png Lawn Sign https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/share-this-news daily 0.75 2020-08-01 https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/email-health-minister-hw daily 0.75 2020-09-17 https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/email-health-minister-pf daily 0.75 2020-09-17 https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/email-health-minister-cp daily 0.75 2020-09-17 https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/email-health-minister-cr daily 0.75 2020-09-17 https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/call-your-mpp daily 0.75 2020-10-21 https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/email-cabinet-ministers daily 0.75 2021-01-07 https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/call-health daily 0.75 2020-11-26 https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/add-phone-number daily 0.75 2020-11-15 https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/emailclerksoffice daily 0.75 2020-11-04 https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/call-treasury daily 0.75 2020-11-26 https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/councilmeeting daily 0.75 2020-10-30 https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/call-finance daily 0.75 2020-11-26 https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/write-a-letter-to-the-editor daily 0.75 2020-12-11 https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/default-bse daily 0.75 2021-02-16 https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/social-media-tool-kit daily 0.75 2021-03-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb2ff7cfd02a37446ca38ea/1612283484650-6ID3GG6QJ2JFT20VGQZ9/Shareable+Graphic+A.png Digital Tool Kit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb2ff7cfd02a37446ca38ea/1612284775952-3GJX0ULC4ER0R69JKUCA/Cover+Photo+A.png Digital Tool Kit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb2ff7cfd02a37446ca38ea/1612283549106-N8ZNRO8OE59P8D0USB0X/Shareable+Graphic+B.png Digital Tool Kit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb2ff7cfd02a37446ca38ea/1612284798277-4XEMS3J5N22I7YCZLE8G/Cover+Photo+B.png Digital Tool Kit https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/premier-ford-email daily 0.75 2021-02-17 https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/dear-premier-ford daily 0.75 2021-03-17 https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/moving-forward daily 1.0 2021-06-01 https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/mission-accomplished daily 0.75 2021-03-29 https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/test-page-123 daily 0.75 2021-06-01 https://www.windsoressexcantwait.ca/test-number-2 daily 0.75 2021-06-01
