2017 Annual Report

New Clinics The Princess Margaret’s first dedicated Outpatient Palliative Care Clinic will be located on the 5th floor. This clinic will give its multidisciplinary team more space and resources to meet the unique needs of palliative care patients and their families. The new Gynecologic Oncology Clinic will move to the 5th floor, consolidating three spaces into one convenient location. The clinic is a leader in managing cancers of the female reproductive system. Outpatient Pharmacy & Blood Collection Centre The Outpatient Pharmacy and Blood Collection Centre are part of nearly every patient’s experience. Expansion and re-organization of these key areas will accommodate current and future patient growth. The new space will accommodate two automated prescription refill machines, an expanded staff of pharmacists, a private consult room, and nine patient stations, four of which will be accessible. The new Blood Collection Centre will also include three accessible collection stations, an expanded reception and waiting area, and key functional upgrades. Patient Library The Patient Education team at The Princess Margaret has nearly 900 unique pamphlets and an even greater number of digital resources and articles to help guide patients through every stage of their treatment. The new space will allow for improved access to this information including open and accessible displays of pamphlets and books, an expanded multilingual collection, digital kiosks, a private consult room, and access to resources in a beautiful, library-like space.
