Peterborough Regional Health Centre gets $17.6-million funding boost from province

COVID-19 — PRHC says to consider alternatives to emergency room amid record cases, staff shortages “This funding is another landmark investment in our hospital to end hallway health care and deliver better services for our region,” Peterborough-Kawartha MPP Dave Smith said.“This funding marks a significant investment at Peterborough Regional Health Centre. Today, we have secured funding to support 88 health-care beds at Peterborough Regional Health Centre and community partners.”In a Zoom press conference to announce the funding on Tuesday, hospital executive vice-president and chief of staff Dr. Lynn Mikula said the money was critical given the ongoing pandemic.“As we continue to operate more than 40 additional surge beds across the hospital to support substantial increases in patient volumes in recent years, and as we continue to face ongoing staffing shortages due to COVID-19 and other factors affecting the health-care system across Ontario, this funding will be absolutely critical to ensuring that we can continue to meet the care needs of the patients we serve,” Mikula said.“It provides us with more stable funding to operate the surge beds that are absolutely needed by our community and were needed before COVID.

COVID-19: Hamilton public health says hospitalizations in current wave to peak in early May

COVID-19 hospitalizations connected with current wave of the pandemic will likely peak in early May and remain high until the end of June.The latest Scarsin forecasting for Hamilton, presented during the city’s Board of Health meeting on Monday, was characterized as a “good news story” with the potential for just 20 intensive care (ICU) admissions from just under 300 hospitalizations between now and the end of the August.“Overall new hospital admissions of Hamiltonians are predicted to peak at approximately six per day in early May, which is earlier than we previously forecast,” HPHS epidemiologist Ruth Sanderson told board members. Ontario COVID numbers: 1,423 people in hospital, 211 in intensive care “There is … some uncertainty of the trajectory and admissions could peak at nearly eight per day or down to where we are now … four hospitalizations per day.”The peak of the current wave, fueled by the Omicron subvariant BA.2, is expected to be about half of what the initial Omicron wave was in mid-January.The new scenario is based on the continuation of the province’s mask requirements in high-risk settings and rollout of fourth COVID vaccine doses between now and the end of the year.HPHS revised their April prediction on what age group will most likely be hospitalized in the next three months shifting from just those aged 60 to 79 to people aged 60-plus.“So in total, those 60 and older will make up over 85 per cent of new hospital admissions between now and the end of August,” Sanderson said.The Scarsin data suggests that 64 per cent of those admitted to ICUs will be aged between 60 and 79.Most of the estimated 42 COVID-related deaths expected between May 2 and Aug.

Philadelphia's newest sculpture, 'OY/YO,' installed in Old City

PHILADELPHIA - What started off as a painting is now Philadelphia's newest sculpture. On Sunday, the new "OY/YO" sculpture was installed outside the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History on 5th and Market Streets in Old City. "It's two little letters that speak to many, many communities," said Deborah Kass, the artist behind the eight feet tall sculpture. "OY/YO," depending on which side you look at the sculpture, will either read "YO" or "OY." Kass says "Yo" is a greeting term in many communities and "Oy" is a Yiddish term that signifies exasperation or worry. When you walk up to the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History, the "YO" side of the sculpture is outfacing. Kass says she decided to have "YO" facing museum visitors because she likes the welcome that it represents. Kass created the first painting of "OY" in 2010 before creating its counterpart, "YO" a year later."In 2011, I made "YO" because I saw a reflection of "OY" in a window and the painting made itself," said Kass.In 2015, Kass created her first large "OY/YO" sculpture, which started out in between the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges in New York City.
