Every day at Concordia Hospital and Concordia Place, we witness the challenges families face and the meaningful difference that compassionate care can make.
Not long ago, many people in Manitoba who needed spine surgery had to wait a long time and stay in the hospital for days or even weeks. Their backs hurt so much that simple things — like walking to the kitchen or going outside — felt impossible.
Today, something hopeful is happening at Concordia Hospital. Doctors are using new high-tech tools to see the spine in detailed 3-D images during surgery. This means they can work with amazing accuracy and make smaller cuts. Because of this, many patients feel less pain and heal much faster. Some are even able to go home the very same day.
This new approach is also helping more people get care sooner. By doing these advanced surgeries at Concordia, hospitals can treat more patients and shorten long wait lists. At the same time, surgeons from around the world are coming to Winnipeg to learn these life-changing techniques, making the city a place of learning and hope.
Cecilia Nguyen, Clinical Performance Specialist at Concordia Hospital and Concordia Place, and Terri Bowser, Regional Educator with the WRHA Rehabilitation Health Aging and Seniors Care, are the founders and passionate leaders of a comprehensive program called “Code Comfort.”
This unique program was designed specifically for Concordia Staff to provide highly practical awareness and training for front line workers, especially for people who regularly work with people who are experiencing dementia. Approximately two out of every three attendees indicated that the course offered at Concordia is the only dementia-related course they have ever taken, which highlights a significant knowledge gap that needed to be addressed effectively.
