💨 Abstract

Michael Garron Hospital in Toronto is facing unprecedented patient surges, with up to 300 patients daily in its emergency room, designed for 150. The influx is due to area growth, straining the hospital's dated infrastructure. The hospital has repurposed non-clinical spaces for patient care. This overcrowding issue is not unique to Michael Garron, with big city ERs facing similar problems.
