For Rachel Murphy, the Screening Supervisor at our Greater Niagara General and Douglas Memorial sites, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic not only meant keeping up in a fast-paced environment, but having to do so in an entirely different role.
Starting Monday, September 14, NH is pleased to welcome volunteers back to specific areas in its St. Catharines and Welland sites.
Niagara Health’s three COVID-19 Assessment Centres, located in St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, and Welland, will be closed on Labour Day, Monday, September 7.
The past school year took an unexpected turn for many students when clinical placements were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With a plan to support our learners’ safety in place, David Ward, a recent Biomedical Engineering Technology graduate, began his placement with Niagara Health’s Biomedical Engineering team in July.
We recently received national recognition for achieving Level 1 Certification as a Choosing Wisely Canada hospital for demonstrating our commitment to reducing unnecessary medical tests, treatments and procedures across our sites.
The members of our Greater Niagara General (GNG) Site Hospitalist Team use their wide-ranging professional backgrounds to help oversee patients from admission to discharge, as part of a team of allied healthcare professionals. Although the team had to operate a little differently during the pandemic, their commitment to extraordinary patient care remained the same.
After testing hundreds of workers in the region’s hospitality and tourism industry, Niagara Health’s temporary Assessment Centre in Niagara Falls saw its final patients Friday afternoon.
Ensuring that patients with respiratory conditions receive the proper nutrition can be challenging under normal circumstances. However, trying to do so in the middle of a pandemic with a previously unknown virus made the job even more complex.
Patients and visitors are now able to access the online screening form through the Niagara Health Navigator app. Filling out the form prior to arriving at NH sites is the quickest and easiest way for patients and visitors to enter the building.
Patients visiting Niagara Health Emergency Departments and Urgent Care Centres can have one caregiver / visitor accompany them for support beginning Tuesday, August 18 at noon.
