Northumberland Hills Hospital (NHH) had to make a difficult decision concerning its 20th Anniversary Open House and Tour, originally set for October 18th.
Unfortunately, an unexpected COVID-19 outbreak was identified within the Inpatient Rehabilitation and Restorative Care Units.
Even though the event and tours would not have ventured into patient areas, the Infection Prevention and Control team believed it was unwise to hold a large gathering.
NHH expressed its gratitude to all who supported the event and underscores the ongoing importance of COVID-19 safety measures.
Visitation restrictions are in place, and masking guidelines remain enforced in healthcare areas.
No alternate date has been determined at this time.
