Georgetown Hospital Expansion At 14,000 square feet the new Emergency Department (ED) at Georgetown Hospital (GH) is approximately three times the size of the previous department. Completed last year, the new ED welcomed its first patient on October 8, 2013. The expansion at GH also included space for the Hospital's first Computed Tomography (CT) scanner which began scanning patients in November 2013 - ensuring residents of Halton Hills have access to this essential service, close to home. Renovations within the old ED to expand the Hospital's Diagnostic Imaging (DI) Department began in January 2014. This work will create a more functional layout and additional space - allowing for larger rooms, separate waiting spaces and separation from public traffic as an additional improvement to patient privacy. Redevelopment of this area also brings imaging rooms formerly located outside of DI together improving the overall efficiency of the department. Halton Healthcare Services looks forward to celebrating the project's completion in Spring 2014. Volunteers: The Best Gift of All In honour of Volunteer Appreciation Week, Cindy McDonell, Chief Operating Officer (left) of Georgetown Hospital presented Marie Carney, the President of the GH Volunteer Association (right) and the GH Volunteers a stepping stone in this year's theme: Volunteers the Best Gift of all - 2014, etched in the rock. The stone will be placed by the Volunteer Fountain at the main entrance of the Hospital.
