Hemodialysis unit at Renfrew Victoria Hospital.
In June 1994, the Renfrew Victoria Hospital was selected as the first-ever recipient of the Health Care Quality Team Award in the "Small and Rural Provider" category. This award, offered by the Canadian College of Health Service Executives and 3M Health Care, was established to recognize health care organizations that have sustained measurable improvements in their network of services, and have done so through the use of a team. Renfrew Victoria Hospital's entry focused on the establishment of a hemodialysis unit for the residents of Renfrew County. This article summarizes the parameters of this award, as presented in our submission.
