New Help for Virtual Visits at WRH
4-1-2021
To address the demand for virtual visits between patients and their loved ones, Windsor Regional Hospital is pleased to announce that we now have four Virtual Visitation Assistants (VVAs). The VVAs are available to assist units to ensure visits take place via iPads, generously donated by individuals and organizations in our community.
“As frontline staff are focused on patient care, these VVA’s play a crucial role in bridging the gap to allow patients to virtually see their loved ones - even behind a screen,” says Adam Paglione, Director of Legal Affairs, Risk Management, Health Information Management and Chief Privacy Officer. “The VVA’s will assist in making the virtual connection using iPads, which will be a source of comfort for both patient and family.”
To contact VVAs - email virtualvisits@wrh.on.ca. They will be available from 10 am to 8 pm daily - 7 days a week.
