When we were in the hopsital with Jack we slept in chairs by his bed and lived in an office next to the PICU.
The new PICU will not only be more equipped to handle severe health needs but will also provide beds and washrooms right in the facility so that parents are able to stay by their child's side.
BC Children ’s and BC Women’s Redevelopment Project got underway in September 2010. This project will see the construction of a major new acute care and diagnostic services hospital and other improvements to the Oak Street campus, to ensure that Children’s and Women’s have the facilities they need to maintain the highest standards of patient care well into the future. BC Children’s and Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children, agencies of the Provincial Health Services Authority, provide expert care for the province’s most seriously ill or injured children, including newborns and adolescents.
The Relocation, Renovation and Demolition (Phase 1) of the BC Children"S and BC Women's Redevelopment project in Septmenber 2010.
The Redevelopment Project is expected to take six years to complete and has been organized for implementation in three phases:
Relocation, Renovation & Demolition (Phase 1)
Phase 1 includes site preparations for the new hospital and additional space for the UBC Faculty of Medicine MD Program and construction of a new clinical support building and free-standing child daycare centre.
Since September 2010, three new Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU) beds have been added.
Construction of the new Acute Care Centre (Phase 2)
The new Acute Care Centre will contain:
New Emergency Department,
Sterile Processing Department;
Medical Imaging Department;
New 70-bed Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and labour/delivery suite;
28 Bed Pediatric Intensive Care Unit;
Three floors of private rooms for inpatients including one floor for a 27-bed oncology unit with adjacent oncology outpatient programs;
Additional underground parking stalls and
Additional academic space in new clinical spaces.
Renovation & Expansion (Phase 3)
Phase 3 includes renovations to the existing hospital buildings for use by BC Women Children
Based in Vancouver, BC Children’s and Sunny Hill reach across the province with vital health services that may not be available anywhere else in B.C. They provide specialized training in pediatric health care and work with renowned researchers to achieve better health for children and youth. As academic health centres, BC Children's and Sunny Hill are affiliated with the University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, Child & Family Research Institute, and other education and research institutions.’s and BC Women’s are recognized for providing high-quality patient care. Although Children’s and Women’s provides excellent care, existing hospital facilities were not designed to accommodate the latest medical technologies or the current volume of patients, which increases every year.

Michelle...your Blog looks wonderful Silly! LOL you little perfectionist. I think it is wonderful what you are doing in tribute of Lil Jack. Giving back to the hospital & people that WERE there for the 3 of you....and kept hoping & believing....in those very dark days as Jack gave his all to stay with his loving parents. Your dedication & gratitude just portrays the strength you & Codie pulled from who knows where...to be by lil Jack 24/7. I too have spent many a night...in different circumstances....cold upset & uncomfortable......along the side of loved ones....in a hospital. Sticking my legs through arms of chairs when my weary body failed to sit up anymore. This is an Excellent cause. I'm sure you and yours had fun setting up this haunted house. I hope you raise lots of funds & enjoy the reactions of the many children that will appreciate your hard works. Way to go gf....keep up the good works....you are here for a reason and do make a difference....loving you always...Barb

Hi Michelle,
Awesome job sweetie..flyer looked great too. Im so proud of you guys. Im sure Jack is smiling big time up there and proud of ya too...Sounds like the Hospital is becoming more kid and parent friendly..too cool. I wish it were like that here in T.C. but their main focus is Adult Cardi stuff ..not sure its congenital stuff either...
Its happening slowly but surely folks in smaller towns are starting to realize that local hospitals need better care for Peds and Pedi Cardi too. Our boys are making tracks...hehe.. ;)
Tell Codie I says hi. Im thinking about you guys... ;)
