WHGH Emergency Department entrance upgrades begin November 18

Starting Wednesday, November 18, we’re making improvements to the Emergency Department entrance at West Haldimand General Hospital (WHGH).

We know how important it is for patients and families to have safe and easy access to care, especially during an emergency.

Patients and visitors will continue to have access to the Emergency Department entrance 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The patient drop-off area will remain available, and ambulances and emergency services will have full access throughout the project.

The work is expected to take about one week, weather permitting. During this time, you may notice some construction activity and noise near the entrance. Our contractors will take steps to keep the entrance safe and accessible.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we make these improvements for our patients, families and community.
