As the Province continues distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine, Headwaters Health Care Centre (HHCC) staff were thrilled the vaccine has arrived in the Region.
The Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph region received their first shipment of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine last week and Public Health has launched a vaccination program for staff and residents at long term care and retirement homes.
Brampton’s William Osler Health System has opening up a vaccination clinic dedicated for distributing these vaccinations and HHCC staff members have been given the opportunity to use the clinic as well, where availability is permitted.

Each year at Headwaters Health Care Centre (HHCC), an average of 14,000 residents seek medical assistance due to cardiac concerns at the hospital.
For the second year in a row, Headwaters is hosting the Have a Heart for Headwaters Initiative to raise funds to help cardiac care at the hospital.
“We need the tools and equipment to stabilize these patients before they are either transferred to a partnering hospital for specialized care or being discharged home,” said Kendra Mantler, Coordinator, Community and Corporate Engagement, at Headwaters Health Care Foundation.
Unfortunately, the hospital doesn’t receive government funding to be able to purchase the necessary equipment needed, hence the need of community support coming into play.
