The Journal jcornwall@eap.on.ca As part of the Redevelopment Project at Cornwall Community Hospital, the Emer- gency Department on the south side of the McConnell Avenue site will be closed as of Friday at 2 a.m. All emergency care services will be de- livered in the new addition to the hospital, and will be accessible from the north park- ing lot at the McConnell site. The move is scheduled to begin at 10 p.m. on Thursday, however patients who are in need of emergency treatment will still re- port to the current entrance on the south side of the building. In order to disrupt as few people as pos- sible, the relocation is planned to take place overnight where the volumes of visitors are usually lower. “On average there is less traffic in the ER between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m.,” said Katrine Kruders, manager of emergency services. “The movers are reporting to the hospi- tal early to ensure everything will flow as smoothly as possible,” she added. From start to finish, the entire move should take just four hours to complete. “Transitioning an entire department from one side of the property to the other is a challenge which requires plenty of organi- zation, however we anticipate a fully func- tional emergency department on the north side by two in the morning,” said Ginette Ferguson, senior director, OR/ER operations and performance. “During that four-hour time period we are committed to continue to supply quality health care to those who are in need. There will be no break in services while the ED re- locates.” After 2 a.m. Friday, emergency patients must enter by the new set of traffic lights on McConnell Avenue and park in the new north parking lot. New entry signs and en- hanced lighting will be installed and opera- tional the night of the move to help guide visitors. Furthermore, additional security will be stationed at the former emergency deparement, and volunteers will be onsite to help direct anyone in need of assistance. New ER goes into operation on Friday
