‘There is no place like home’ Hospital at Home program expands to Vancouver

Health Minister says program already improving quality of care for eligible patients elsewhere

A program that allows eligible patients deemed in stable condition to receive acute-level care within their own four walls has officially expanded to Vancouver.

“While everyone is extremely appreciative of the care they receive , it’s also difficult…for everyone, for their families to be in hospital at all, away from home in unfamiliar surroundings,” he said.

He added that patients can return to hospital if their conditions worsen.
