Exciting news for our community!

West Haldimand General Hospital is now partnered with the McMaster Children’s Hospital Pediatric Tele-Resuscitation Program! This means our healthcare team has 24/7 access to emergency support from McMaster’s top pediatric doctors via video chat. When a child is in critical need, expert resuscitation support is now just a call away.

“Pediatric resuscitation is one of the scariest things a small town emergency doctor has to deal with. You don’t do it very often, and, because it’s a kid, it’s always more emotionally testing. Having an expert to guide us along the way is very helpful,” says chief of the West Haldimand General Hospital emergency department, Dr. William Liang. “For the family, it’s quite reassuring to have something like this, and makes them feel more at ease knowing the doctors are doing their best with guidance from an expert.”
