With the current Significant Weather Event impacting Northeastern Ontario, HSN is advising that all outpatient appointments and clinics, as well as elective and non-urgent surgeries planned for March 16 are cancelled and being rescheduled.
This includes chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Dialysis services and treatment are still happening.
HSN’s Emergency Department continues to operate, but patients may experience longer wait times.
With the significant amount of snow in the last 24 hours leading to blocked roads and highway closures, some staff are having a very challenging time in getting to the hospital.
This means we may not be able to contact all patients impacted today.
We ask for everyone’s patience, kindness and understanding as we navigate this weather emergency.
And remind anyone travelling today to be please be very careful.
We will provide additional updates as new information becomes available over the course of the day.
Thank you.
