UNVEILING THE STEWART E. ALLEN HYBRID OR
HYBRID OR ATLANTIC CANADA’S FIRST HYBRID OPERATING ROOM TRANSFORMING SURGICAL CARE
$4 MILLION
raised for the hybrid OR
More than 200 donors came together to fund $4 million-worth of best-in-class technology within the QEII’s new Stewart E. Allen Hybrid OR. One of the most technologically advanced operating suites available today, it allows QEII surgical teams to perform diagnostic imaging, minimally-invasive procedures, and complex, open surgeries all in the same room, at the same time. By eliminating the physical divide between the OR and real-time imaging, patients will no longer need to be transferred to different floors for their imaging needs.
Thanks to Stewart and the other generous donors, our patients will now have access to this life-saving technology and innovation. Rapid access to care can mean the matter of life or death…and that’s priceless.
