BARRIE — Royal Victoria Hospital has hit the road to let people know how the facility's long-awaited expansion is going.
On Thursday, the RVH Travelling Road Show set up in the community booth at Georgian Mall. The "show" features an entertaining and informative video on the Phase 1 Expansion Project, which includes the Simcoe Muskoka Regional Cancer Centre. RVH volunteers, also known as the "Blue Brigade" will be on hand to answer questions as will staff from RVH's corporate communications department.
"The Phase 1 Expansion Project is the largest capital project in the history of Simcoe Muskoka and will transform health care for this entire region," said RVH president and CEO Janice Skot, in a release. "We want to share our success with the community and through our valued partnership with Georgian Mall, we are able to demonstrate the progress, through video and photographs, to the people who have supported this hospital for so long."
Visitors to the Georgian Mall are invited to stop by the booth, watch a video of the construction of their new hospital and receive the latest information on the expansion. The volunteers and staff manning the booth will answer your questions and for those questions that require a bit of research or more details, you can fill out a form and your questions will be answered in a timely fashion.
"Once expansion construction is complete in 2012, significant renovations will begin on the existing hospital. By 2013, the work will be complete and Royal Victoria Hospital will be better able to meet the needs of this growing region," Skot said.
The booth, which will be located in the lower level by the food court, will be at Georgian Mall until Saturday during regular mall hours.
