The head of the Norfolk General Hospital has bold plans for the future.
Wednesday, at council chambers, CEO Todd Stepaniuk spoke with our elected officials regarding the future of our local hospital.
Capital repairs and plans for the future were top of mind.
Right now, plans are underway for certain repairs at the hospital as well as a massive reconstruction project planned for the adjacent nursing home.
But Stepaniuk is hopeful, with an increase focus on improving healthcare, that this would just be the tip of the iceberg.
While this takes time, Stepaniuk wants to get the ball rolling on improving the hospital and nursing home now and update our elected officials once they have more information.
Councillor Linda Vandendriessche asked Stepaniuk if this bold vision was possible on the current land where NGH sits.
Stepaniuk also spoke about doctor recruitment in the area.
We will provide you with an update on this development on a later date.
