Mission Of Mercy Hospital

Being at 125/1 Park Street means we are always in the thick of things. It’s a busy address and there is a lot of movement every single day. The hospital is an old building, and you can tell by the way the floorboards sometimes creak or the way the windows are set deep into the walls. We have a lot of rooms spread out over several floors. Sometimes it takes a while for a new person to figure out where the labs are compared to the main wards. We don't really use much in the way of fancy signs; we just tell people to follow the blue line on the floor. It’s a very hands-on environment here. The staff is always moving, carrying files or pushing carts of supplies. We see a huge mix of people because of where we are situated in the city. Some days the lobby is so full that people are standing out near the entrance just to get some air. We don't have a lot of room for extra stuff, so every corner is used for something, whether it’s storage or a small desk for a nurse. It’s a bit of a maze, but we know it like the back of our hands. We just focus on the task in front of us and try to keep things moving as smoothly as possible given the crowd. It’s a lot of work but we manage.
