In response to escalating bed capacity challenges across the province and a Ministry of Health directive issued on April 20 requiring all non-emergent and non-urgent elective surgeries and procedures to be ceased, the three hospital corporations in Grey Bruce are increasing bed capacity and ramping down elective surgeries and procedures beginning this week. The postponement of elective surgeries is necessary to ensure hospital staff are available to provide care for the additional beds that have been opened.
All impacted patients will be contacted directly by their physician’s offices. We are encouraging the public not to call the hospitals or their physician’s office.
