HWMH update

To The Haldimand Press

DUNNVILLE—The following is an update from the Haldimand War Memorial Hospital (HWMH) on April 8, 2020.

OUTPATIENT PROCEDURES

While all outpatient endoscopy procedures had been cancelled at the hospital a few weeks ago, colonoscopies are now being conducted on some Saturdays in the Operating Room (OR) for people who urgently need them. Patients come directly to the OR through a dedicated entrance and must pass screening prior to their procedures. Additional infection control measures have been put in place, such as increasing space between each patient’s visit.
