If you’re the type who’s constantly anxious and nervous when visiting or staying in a hospital, maybe you can suggest to the one in your area to implement a scheme similar to that being used in the City of Kingston here in Ontario.

All it takes to ease your fear of the hospital is one click of a button, at least that’s the way it is here in the city.

The Kingston General Hospital recently launched a new virtual tour of the medical institution on their official website. And although it’s currently targeted at the youth aged 18 and below, also known as pediatric patients, adults who feel uncomfortable inside the hospital can check it out as well. The virtual tour is open to just about anybody who has an internet connection, and surfers can see for themselves what it’s like to be inside the hospital. The tour consists of a walkthrough of over a dozen patient care areas, operating rooms, emergency rooms, and other clinics.

According to Astrid Strong, manager of Child Life Services, the virtual tour is a way for them to help children understand and cope better with the goings-on inside Kingston General. Her group is in charge of reaching out to kids and teens that are having trouble being in the hospital,
