LDHC – Staffing Pressures December 21st, 2024

Dec 21, 2024 at 17:28
We are experiencing staffing pressures in our Registered Nurse and Physician groups. The Emergency Department (ED) will remain open; however, we ask that you visit the ED only if you have an emergency.
Under the health human resources pressures we are caring for more inpatients than we usually do as well as leaning on our local physicians to provide additional coverage, therefore, please only visit the ER if you have an emergency.
If you are unsure whether you have an emergency, seek health-related advice from a Registered Nurse by calling Health Connect Ontario (formerly Telehealth Ontario) (24/7) at 811.
In addition, patients who come to the hospital are prioritized based on their medical needs so you may experience longer wait times.
We thank you for your understanding and continued cooperation. If you have any questions or comments please email [email protected]
