Ontario's First Pandemic Response Unit Activated

Completed last April, the Pandemic Response Unit (PRU) at Joseph Brant Hospital added capacity for COVID-19 care. Intense pressures on hospitals providing COVID care across the region has prompted activation of the PRU which is now set up to support four hospitals across the GTHA. In this City News clip Chief of Staff Dr. Ian Preyra explains why a Pandemic Response Unit was the most suitable option for Joseph Brant Hospital to create capacity as they work to ensure limited cancelations or delays caused by the demand for COVID-19 care.
