Among Providence Healthcare’s new initiatives is the “Transformation by Design” project. It will focus on providing care for the increased number of its hospital patients. Walsh said the changes would help patients move from hospitals to Providence Healthcare more easily, increasing the availability of hospital beds.
“Providence has been here in Toronto for over 150 years now,” Walsh said. “The values derived from when the (Sisters of St. Joseph) were responsible for Providence still form the foundation of our (strategic) plan in meeting the needs of the people of Toronto who otherwise wouldn’t be served.”
