VJH Purple Ribbon Campaign Petition

- sign now
Goal : 1444 / 5000

Vernon Jubilee Hospitals "Tower of Care" is scheduled to open in September 2011. Unfortunately, the Tower will open without any increase in hospital beds.

Opening day will be yet another "Code Purple" day at VJH where admitted patients exceed hospital capacity. Patients will continue to backup in the emergency department for hours and days at a time while they desperately wait for for a stretcher to become available in a hospital hallway, broom closet, or cast room.

We, the citizens of the North Okanagan and Shuswap say the status quo is unacceptable.

When the Tower of Care opens, it is slated to open with two empty "shelled-in" acute care floors set aside for completion at an undetermined future date.

We say the time to finish these shelled-in floors is now.

We, the citizens of the North Okanagan and Shuswap are petitioning our provincial government to end constant overcapacity at VJH and complete the two shelled in floors now.

We need more extended care beds in the community not hospital beds at $1000 a day.  The floors should be used for future hospital use when needed.
