The Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre (RVH) in Barrie continues to make significant strides in enhancing healthcare services for the Simcoe Muskoka region. Here's an updated overview of RVH's recent achievements and ongoing initiatives.
 

Cancer Care Expansion: The Simcoe Muskoka Regional Cancer Centre, now named the David and Catherine Hudson Regional Cancer Centre following a landmark $10 million donation, recorded approximately 141,000 patient visits last year.

Daily Patient Visits: RVH accommodates around 1,500 patient visits daily, reflecting its role as a critical healthcare provider in the region.

Cardiac Procedures: The Simcoe Muskoka Regional Heart Program has enabled residents to receive life-saving heart care closer to home, eliminating the necessity to travel outside the county for such services. Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre.

Physician Recruitment: Since 2011, RVH has significantly increased its medical staff, with over 400 physicians currently practicing at the facility. This growth ensures that more residents have access to specialized care without the need to travel to larger urban centers. Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre

Youthful Medical Staff: A substantial portion of RVH's medical professionals are under the age of 45, bringing innovative approaches and fresh perspectives to patient care.

Local Access to Care: By expanding its services and facilities, RVH has reduced the necessity for patients to seek medical attention outside the region, thereby enhancing the overall healthcare experience for the community.Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre
