Outbreak Notice – Medical Inpatient Unit

Please note that we are currently experiencing a Norovirus (Gastroenteritis) outbreak on our hospital’s Medical Inpatient Unit.

To help protect our patients, team members, and community, general visitation to the Medical Inpatient Unit is currently on hold.

Essential Caregivers (ECGs) only may visit at this time. Each patient may have up to two designated ECGs, who must check in with our Nursing Team and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) before visiting. Palliative and end-of-life visits can be discussed individually with our care team.

All volunteer programs are temporarily paused and will resume once the outbreak has been declared over.

We ask everyone to increase the frequency and diligence of handwashing. Hand hygiene is the most effective way to prevent the spread of norovirus, and traditional soap and water handwashing is the preferred method.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to manage this outbreak and keep everyone safe. 💙

Please join us in giving a warm welcome to Ali and Hassait, third-year medical students from Queen's University!

Over the next few months, they’ll be joining us to experience the excitement and rewards of rural medicine here in Deep River. You might spot them in our Emergency Department, on the Medical Inpatient Unit, or at an upcoming clinic appointment - be sure to say hello and make them feel at home!

During their time with us, we’re excited to showcase not only what it’s like to be part of the team at DRDH, but also the perks of rural living, whether it’s enjoying snowy winter activities or experiencing the strong sense of community our town has to offer!

🎄✨ Holly Jolly Soirée ✨🎄

What a night! Thank you to all our team members and guests who joined us on Friday for our annual Holiday Party. The room was full of laughter, great food, and plenty of holiday cheer - exactly what we needed to kick off the season together.

A big congratulations to everyone who took home one of the amazing prizes throughout the evening! Of course, a heartfelt shout-out to our incredible Social Committee for their creativity, hard work, and behind-the-scenes magic in hosting such a memorable event.✨🧡

Our local MPP proved he’s not afraid of a little cold and a big challenge! ❄️💙

A huge thank you to MPP Billy Denault for accepting our friendly challenge and bravely taking the leap at the Deep River & District Health Foundation's Dip to Donate Polar Plunge yesterday!

We’re grateful for his enthusiasm and support for DRDH. Community leadership comes in many forms - sometimes it’s diving into freezing water for a great cause!😉

Our brave (and slightly frozen) DRDH crew took the plunge yesterday at the Deep River & District Health Foundation’s annual Dip to Donate Polar Plunge - and they did it with big smiles, bigger energy, and very cold toes!

A huge shoutout to our incredible team members who jumped in to support our organization, including Mary, Jeff, Rebekah, Michaela, Agia, Dr. Quenneville, Megan, and Lynne. Your courage, commitment, and “type 2 fun” enthusiasm helped make this year’s event one to remember!

Thank you to everyone who participated, donated, or cheered on our dippers!

Until next year… who’s joining the DRDH Dippers? 🥶❄️🌊

🎄🍪☕️ Our incredible Auxiliary volunteers hosted a festive and cheerful Holiday Tea for our organization last week - complete with delicious treats, holiday warmth, and a welcome opportunity to connect.

We are so grateful for the Auxiliary and all they do throughout the year to support our patients, residents, families, and team. Their generosity, dedication, and holiday spirit made this afternoon truly special.

Thank you to our amazing volunteers for bringing so much joy to our organization, and to all our team members, board members, and physicians who stopped by to celebrate the season with us!
