Grey Bruce Hospitals are reminding residents to follow public health guidelines to prevent emergency rooms from being pushed to their limits.
All three hospitals in the area, Grey Bruce Health Services, Hanover & District Hospital and the South Bruce Grey Health Centre, say despite few positive COVID cases, there are a limited number of beds available in the region.
Hospitals are preparing for the holiday season, that means, heart attacks, stroke, respiratory, gastrointestinal as well as COVID-19 patients.

On Wednesday December 9, the South Bruce Grey Health Centre Kincardine Hospital Auxiliary was pleased to present a cheque for $35,000 to the Kincardine & Community Health Care Foundation. At their meeting in February, the Auxiliary had decided that their equipment to purchase for 2020 would be a $60,000 Spirometry machine for the Diagnostic Imaging Department at our hospital with the option of it being funded over two years. However, with the arrival of this pandemic, most of their fundraising events were curtailed this year and they will need that second year to fulfill their pledge. The Hospital Auxiliary is extremely grateful to the community who have so generously continued to support them this year, and look forward to a brighter 2021.
