Glenrose Space Re-design

Over 175 participants, which included patients, staff, volunteers, patient & family advisors, and AHS partners, took part in a captivating survey and engaging focus groups. The outcome? A fantastic recommendation to allocate the two vacant spaces at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital for retail and personal care services!

We are excited to share that the rejuvenation process of these spaces has begun! We are also looking for talented hair stylists who would be interested in a fantastic opportunity of providing hair services at GRH. If you or someone you know is interested, please get in touch with either Jolene Ellis (Jolene.Ellis@ahs.ca) or Sherri Bessette (Sherri.Bessette@ahs.ca) for more information.

As we move forward on this project, our priorities and values continue to be at the forefront during each phase of the redesign. These are:

• Accessibility – ensuring the space is welcoming and accessible to people of all abilities.
• Inclusivity – all people are welcome irrespective of race, gender, disability, medical or other needs.
• Sustainability – the ability to maintain and support the services over the long-term need.
• Financial stewardship – ensuring that goods and services provided are affordable to the diverse population.
