In February, the Polson Tower Doctors’ Lounge was transformed. The VJH Physician Society was able to purchase three new couches and 2 new chairs, creating a fresh and more hygienic environment for operating room staff to rest between surgeries.
Refurbishment funding, up to $60,000, was approved by the Doctors of BC through the Facility Engagement Initiative. This was the first refurbishing activity and was welcomed by the medical staff.
Additional funding was also made available to the Emergency Department to purchase a bed in the on-call area.
Contact the VJHPS Project Manager if you know of another physician space within VJH that needs an upgrade and will improve the medical staff’s work environment.
