This month, we join Canadians across the country in recognizing Black History Month.

The 2026 theme marks 30 years of Black History Month in Canada and honours the legacy and leadership of Black Canadians across generations.

Black physicians, nurses, and healthcare professionals have helped shape a more inclusive healthcare system, often while facing barriers. Their impact continues to strengthen patient care today.

At West Haldimand General Hospital this message connects directly to our daily work.

Every interaction is a chance to show respect, fairness, and understanding.
We are committed to learning, reflecting, and being part of the solution.

Important reminder for visitors to West Haldimand General Hospital

According to Grand Erie Public Health, respiratory illnesses are spreading in our community. Influenza activity remains elevated, and COVID-19 and RSV are also circulating.

At West Haldimand General Hospital, we are seeing many people come to the Emergency Department with cough, fever, and flu-like symptoms. We have also had multiple COVID-19 outbreaks in recent weeks.

Please help protect patients, staff, and families

➡ If you are feeling sick, please do not visit a loved one in the hospital.
➡ Even mild symptoms can spread illness.
➡ Staying home helps protect people who are more vulnerable.

Masking reminder 😷

As we continue through respiratory illness season, masking is strongly recommended at West Haldimand General Hospital in certain areas.

➡ Masks are strongly recommended in inpatient units and the Emergency Department.
➡ Masks are available at all public entrances.

What feels mild to you can be serious for someone in hospital. These steps help reduce the spread of influenza, COVID-19, RSV, and other respiratory illnesses.
