Caring Spirits: Medical Teams of 2-South
Congratulations to the medical teams of 2-South, which is the Seniors Mental Health Unit at Royal Jubilee Hospital. These hardworking doctors and nurses were recognized by a donor whose husband received outstanding medical assistance during his hospital stay. The donor decided to make a gift through the Caring Spirit program to support the purchase of new medical equipment for 2-South.
Last year, there were 1,300 cases of people needing in-hospital psychiatric care at Royal Jubilee. 142 of these patients were treated in the Seniors Unit, with the average stay being about a month. The majority of patients have their own rooms and bathrooms, and all have access to outdoor gardens. This calm, natural environment has dramatically reduced the need for medication.
Thank you to Compass Group at Island Health for providing these Caring Spirits with Tim Horton’s coffee and donuts!
Please share to help acknowledge the exceptional work of our hospital teams. Over the next two weeks, we want the entire community to hear about the incredible impact our caregivers have at Royal Jubilee and Victoria General hospitals. We’ll be honouring a new Island Health Caring Spirit recipient almost every day, so follow us on Facebook to keep posted!
