Past Campaigns:

The Building Together Campaign

The Building Together Campaign was an extraordinary undertaking in the life of our community. Many volunteers helped to raise $7.5 million dollars to help fund much needed renovations to Strathroy Middlesex General Hospital. The Provincial Government matched the $7.5 million contribution, bringing the total renovation funding to $15 million.

Over the last 20 years, Strathroy Middlesex General Hospital has changed the way it delivers health care to the community. Throughout the Building Together Campaign, the emergency and outpatient units were separated into individual units and renovated. This enabled the hospital to maintain and improve the health services provided to our growing community.

Many corporations, foundations, local business, service clubs and private citizens committed a tremendous amount of support. Your leadership and participation in the campaign is important to the patients, staff and physicians of the hospital. You helped to build a stronger and more secure healthcare facility for the community.

Emergency Unit Renovation

In 2001, the Emergency and Ambulatory Care Units had a combined total of 27,087 visits -- 3 times more than the hospital was designed to handle. Those numbers have grown since then.

The Benefits of the Renovation

1. BETTER CARE: Improved and efficient work environment conducive to efficient service care. Reduction of patient risks by developing improvements such as clear line of sight between nurses and patients waiting for treatment.
2. PROPER DESIGN: Modern facility designed to meet the needs of the community in keeping with the health care delivery system of the day.
3. ADEQUATE SPACE: Room for patients and families to be treated with ample waiting and lobby space. Space for families of severe trauma victims of sudden unexpected death.
4. ATTRACTIVE ENVIRONMENT: New and modern facility that is attractive, calming and patient-friendly.

Redeveloped Ambulatory Care Unit

The community's demand for health services is higher than ever before. This is due to a population that is not only increasing in size, but also aging. The Ambulatory Care Unit was simply too small, cramped and inefficient.

By redesigning the hospital floor plan, Ambulatory Services was relocated to another area of the hospital and now runs much more effectively.

The Benefits of the Redevelopment

1. BETTER CARE: A facility that provides space for dignified, personal treatment and care.
2. SEPARATE UNIT: Separate ambulatory services unit within the hospital, designed specifically for ambulatory care in keeping with today's system of health-care delivery.
3. CAPACITY: Full-service unity that can handle the high volume of patients who are now seeking medical attention on an outpatient basis.
