Coleen Long, RN believes that patient education is an important component of the therapy care she provides cardio-pulmonary patients at Virginia Gay Hospital. She addresses diet, exercise and lifestyle topics, offering knowledge and comfort to folks, many of whom have reservations or fears after experiencing a cardiac event.
As members of Virginia Gay Hospital's staff, Coleen and many other nurses, therapists, and technicians provide skilled, compassionate care to patients in need of advanced science preferred with a local touch. Together they form lasting personal relationships, and naturally VGH wishes to take additional measures to ensure patients are well-informed.
As part of an overall expansion and refurbishing project consisting of two phases, digital signage will play a role in extending education and community-focused information to the hospital common areas.
The hospital will feature a five-unit digital signage network provided by local business Ovation Interactive. Ovation is working closely with respective department and administrative leaders to plan, design, and develop original content for display on the signage network. Services Ovation is providing include hardware/software provisioning, content consultation, interviews, site photography, design, animation, and installation.
The $8.5 million expansion of Virginia Gay Hospital which began in summer 2008 includes over $2 million in community support generated through the "Commitment to Caring" capital campaign. 20,000 Square feet have been added to the facility.
The open house celebrating completion of phase one of the project is scheduled for Thursday, October 22 as Acute Care, Emergency, Imaging Services and Rehabilitative Services complete the move into their new spaces. Construction and remodeling for phase two will continue through summer 2010. Additional enhancements will include a MRI unit, sleep study suite, and refurbishing of the cardiac rehab suite. This phase addresses renovation of 20,000 square feet of existing space.
