LEVEL 2B NURSERY – JBH is now home to a
designated level 2B nursery. Due to new technology
and collaborative care, our Maternal and Child Special
Care Unit now supports mothers giving birth at our
hospital from 32 weeks gestation and up. Joseph Brant
Hospital had 1,451 births in 2014-2015.
DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY – In the fall of 2014,
JBH installed a state-of-the-art Digital Mammography
System that offers greatly enhanced image quality,
significantly reduced doses of radiation and helps with
early diagnosis, facilitating a seamless continuum of
care for women from screening to treatment.
INPATIENT ROOM – The redevelopment and
expansion project will include 172 new modern
inpatient beds, 70% of which will be in private
rooms. The natural light and lake view will provide a
healing environment for compassionate care.
EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT – The new Emergency
Department will be patient and family-focused. Our
triage station will assess and direct care as needed.
The Emergency unit will have direct access to
inpatient mental health, the paediatric inpatient unit
and other focused care.
MAIN LOBBY – The main lobby will be an open,
healing environment that will function as a circulation
hub and a vibrant gathering point for hospital
patients, visitors, staff and the community at large.
OPERATING ROOMS – The design of the operating
rooms will accommodate innovative surgical
techniques and technology, including endoscopy,
lasers, concurrent use of imaging techniques and
more. Our new Joseph Brant Hospital will have 9 new
Operating Rooms.
PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE – Our new bridge will connect
the parking garage to the new seven-storey patient
tower. The bridge will be environmentally controlled
and increase safety and mobility to our patients,
visitors and community.
