Dr. John Holian:

The benefits of physical integration are obvious. The removal of those operational barriers might not seem as obvious but are very important from a clinical perspective. These often cause confusion and unnecessary delays that have meant clinical risk. Our goal is to be able to offer the whole suite of services that St. Vincent's enjoys on its campus currently, be that interventional radiology, urology, haematology, nephrology or whatever else. This integration component allows us, without fear or favour, to bring the doctor to the patient rather than the patient to the doctor and to maintain that patient focus, which is what we are all about.
