As a nurse, Debbie Casquenette knows what good care is and the care her mother-in-law received at The Scarborough Hospital was great.
Marguerite Casquenette wasn't feeling well on Labour Day weekend and when she hadn't improved after a day, Debbie left the cottage early and brought her to the General campus where she was cared for by "an angel."
That's how Debbie referred to nurse Hoda Sarvistani in the letter she wrote to TSH following the experience in the Emergency Department.

 The Scarborough Hospital has seen steady improvement in Emergency Department wait times at both of its campuses.
Wait times at the General campus for patients not admitted to hospital have gone from five hours in the fourth quarter of 2011/12 to 4.3 hours in the second quarter of 2012/13 year, while wait times for those patients at the Birchmount campus have decreased from 4.5 hours in the fourth quarter of 2011/12 to four hours in the second quarter of 2012/13.
"We're pleased to see our Emergency Department wait times are continuing to decrease through the hard work and dedication of the leadership and staff in that area. We are committed to this ongoing work and strive to be a leader in the province on this indicator," says Marla Fryers, Exective Vice President, Clinical Operations. |
