🚨Community Reminder: New Emergency Department Entrance

A friendly reminder that the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Emergency Department is now accessed through the new ED entrance on Neelin Street (the side street near the Carleton Place Arena).

To ensure patients receive safe and timely emergency care, please avoid using the main hospital entrance for ED drop-offs. The new entrance brings patients directly to the Emergency Department, where our team can support them immediately.

Thank you for helping keep our patients, medical staff, and community members safe. ❤️

Today, we join communities around the world in recognizing International Men’s Day, a day dedicated to celebrating positive male role models and raising awareness about the mental, emotional, and physical health of men and boys. 💙

At the Mississippi River Health Alliance we are proud to honour the men across our teams who show compassion, skill, leadership, and resilience in the care they provide every day.

This day is also an opportunity to celebrate the men among our patients, residents, and community members, and to remind ourselves to check in, reach out, and support one another.

How we can uplift men’s well-being:
• Encourage open conversations about mental health
• Support healthy habits and regular medical checkups
• Celebrate kindness, respect, and positive contributions in every role

On this Remembrance Day, the Mississippi River Health Alliance honours all who have served, and those who continue to serve, in defence of peace and freedom.

We remember the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of Canada’s Veterans, active service members, and their families. Their legacy reminds us of the profound cost of conflict, and the enduring importance of compassion, unity, and hope.

At 11 a.m., we join Canadians across the country in a moment of silence to reflect and remember.

Lest we forget.
