Construction ,of lspital may begin insprrngý ByTrudie Zavadovie Construction to double the size of Whitby General Hospital' s ambulatory wing may begin in spring. About $1 million from the $5.5 million expected te, be raised for the hospital campaign fund will go teward work on the ambula- overgnment fundinq for the 15,000 sq. ft. expansion is $2 million, allocated as part of the province's initiative to get patients back inte the com- munity. To further that initia- tive, a freeze was placed on expansion of long-termi care units inhospitals. "For the community and hospi- tai it wasa od thing," says Robin Po)still, director of develop- ment. «It's a far greater ex pan- sion than we first antîcîpated.» Postili says, however, that the change in governement could have an impact on lonhg-termn care. "Their whole platform n bas been on an increased heàlth cate facility.» Ail the out-patient services will be moved to the ambulatory care area. Those services include admitting the diabetiechdnic and the sexuaf assauît unit. Postili says without the government's $2 million, the renovations and restructuringl wouldn't have been as extensive. There are also plans to enlarge the parking lot to accommodate the extra traffic, and upgrade the fire alarm system at a cost of $200,000. Construction is expected to, take about 18 months. The campaign fund is still shy of their goal by $1 million. It is expected that t he balance will be raised by year-end.
