The Mobile Health Unit (MHU) is a resource that allows us to provide safe and quality care to patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, at a time when hospital beds and resources are limited.
"The Mobile Health Unit is part of a systems strategy to ensure we have capacity... We are utilizing it to take patients from perhaps all over the [health-care] system."
Hear from Robert Burgess, Sr. Director of Emergency Preparedness at Sunnybrook:
“Safety of our patients… has been our priority when setting up the Mobile Health Unit. We are confident that the care provided will be of the very highest quality."
Hear from Debra Carew, Clinical Operations of the Mobile Health Unit:
While the MHU is a safe, important and life-saving resource, we know it is not ideal. We never wanted to get here, either.
Please help us bring this pandemic to an end. Follow public health guidance. Stay home. Wash your hands. Wear a mask. Together we get through this.
