A Vision for Better Patient Care

The Yurkovich Family Pavilion will accommodate today’s needs while anticipating those for future generations.

Already, embracing new surgical techniques has increased the number of patients treated daily at Richmond Hospital and reduced patients’ recovery times.

Imagine a loved one in surgery while you receive real-time updates to stay informed. Following the surgery, on that very day, they are able to return to the comfort of their home for recovery.

Picture the Emergency Department team being able to swiftly access the critical equipment they need to save lives in the race against time.

Envision health care professionals with more time for patient care, as digital solutions reduce administrative tasks.

With the adoption of innovative and new technologies, the ultimate goal – to deliver the right care faster and with increased patient dignity and privacy – can be achieved in the Yurkovich Family Pavilion.

Some examples of technological advancements your donation could bring:

Emergency Department (ED):

  • Radio-Frequency Identification that rapidly locates urgently-needed equipment for the ED team during decisive moments
  • Streamlined programs and processes that help physicians dedicate more time to patients and less on administrative duties and repetitive tasks

Surgery Operating Rooms (ORs):

  • Universal Operating Rooms all with minimally invasive equipment enabling surgeons to efficiently accommodate any surgical need
  • Patient tracking board to facilitate swift transitions and collaboration among medical teams from pre-surgery to post-surgery, plus automatically provides real-time status updates to family members, keeping them informed on their loved one’s surgical journey
  • Anaesthesia Workstation that premeasures, calculates, and tracks medication dosages to reinforce patient safety

Power the Future

Join us in our $40 million POWER UP Campaign to help ensure these and other innovative technologies are available for our community.

By adopting future-forward technologies, our health care professionals will be able to provide better patient care to meet the needs of families today and into the future.

“The adoption of new techniques and technologies in the Yurkovich Family Pavilion, the new acute care tower, will improve the quality of patient care from admission to discharge, including surgical and specialized care across departments. Through the integration of advanced innovations and state-of-the-art equipment, Richmond Hospital will attract and retain top-tier health care professionals, driving advancements in patient care in Richmond.”
