If you need health care in the coming weeks, we ask you to consider where you can best access services. Do you have a less urgent need? Call your family doctor or try a walk-in clinic. Help make sure our Emergency Department is caring for those who need it most.

It's the "paws" that refreshes when therapy dog Doc visits Emergency Dept. staff with owner/handler Julie Halle, a project of the KHSC staff wellness committee. And ED staff always discover up close that Doc's TLC is just what the doctor ordered! #ygk @SJAOntario

We continue to see patients with COVID-19 as infection rates hold steady across our region. We’re averaging about 15-20 COVID inpatients per-day, some in the ICU. Meanwhile, we’ve now hit peak RSV season and flu cases are beginning to rise in the area.
