The Royal Jubilee Hospital is a 400-bed general hospital in Victoria, British Columbia, located about 3 kilometres (1.8 miles) east of the city centre, in the Jubilee neighbourhood (itself named after the hospital). Its name commemorates the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1887. Founded in 1890, Royal Jubilee was Victoria's main hospital until 1983, when an expanded Victoria General Hospital re-opened in the suburban municipality of View Royal.[1] Royal Jubilee offers critical-care surgery, diagnostics, emergency facilities and other patient programs. It has a particular focus on cardiac medicine.[2]
In 2007, the British Columbia government announced that it would expand and renovate the hospital, increasing the number of beds to 500 and replacing many buildings.[3]
