CANADA related to the human resources : “ each of our three hospitals has its own culture . We have to mobilize the doctors , the health workers and all the administrative employees in order to have a successful transformation ”, said Irene Marcheterre . Promoting the project is important , but more importantly is to listen to staff concerns and preoccupations , she adds .
What makes the new CHUM a one of kind major project is of course its architecture , well integrated to the urban fabric and the historical heritage of this district , but also its openness to art . The Quebec integration of art to the architecture policy makes sure that any public construction project allows a portion of its budget to public art . Therefore , the new CHUM will have 13 works of art ( 5 M $) within its walls to create a healing and calming environment .
Looking Ahead “ The major goal that I have as a CEO is to position this hospital as one of the major academic hospitals in the world , in order to be at the level of the major academic centers in the United States ,” said Turgeon .
“ There ’ s so much that awaits the patients at the end of this journey ,” added Landry . “ There ’ s a lot of exciting new technology that will be available to staff and patients , but the patient care will remain at the center of our mission ”.
Phase 2 of construction is currently on schedule to be completed by April 2016 .
