September is Healthcare Hero month at the Foundation! ✨🦸‍♂️🩷

We love to honour our Heroes at the Haldimand War Memorial Hospital & Edgewater Gardens. The staff go above and beyond every day to ensure the best care to our community.

Today's Hero is Nurse Joel, who you may have had the pleasure of seeing in the Emergency Department. Joel was very thankful for this nomination and will wear his pin with pride. He had a key part in the difficult diagnosis of a very grateful patient.

Thank you, Nurse Joel, for your commitment and kindness. Your dedication makes a real difference every day!

📅 National Drowning Prevention Week: July 21–27, 2025
🛟 Let's work together to keep our community safe.
Every year, hundreds of preventable water-related incidents occur across Canada—many involving children and youth. As part of National Drowning Prevention Week, the Haldimand Family Health Team encourages everyone to take simple steps that can save lives:
🌊 Stay within arm’s reach of young children near water
🦺 Wear a lifejacket during boating or water sports
📵 Avoid distractions while supervising swimmers
🚫 Never swim alone – even strong swimmers
🩹 Learn CPR and first aid – seconds count in an emergency
🏊 Register for swim lessons for you and your children
Drowning is fast and silent. Together, we can make water safety a priority this summer.
