Members of the patient transfer working group including hospital staff, Emergency Health Services, Healthcare Relocation Services and local police gathered first thing in the morning to confirm many of the details of the move.
Around 10:30, Cheryl Graham, facility planning director, was lifted from a patient bed onto a stretcher to be wheeled down the hall from the in-patient unit at the old site on her way to the new site.
From the time she was lifted to the time she was placed in the new room in the new hospital, roughly 11 minutes had lapsed.
The move week runs Nov. 19 to 25, with patients being moved on the last day.
