High Volumes & Long Wait Times in Our Emergency Department 🚨
It’s flu and illness season, and our Emergency Department is experiencing high patient volumes, increased acuity, and longer wait times. A number of patients who require admission are waiting in the ED for inpatient beds, which is limiting our capacity to see new patients as quickly as we would like.

Please remember:
• Emergency care does not operate on a first-come, first-served basis.
• Patients are prioritized based on the urgency of their condition through the triage process.
• Arriving by EMS does not guarantee immediate treatment. If you are stable and “fit to sit,” you may wait in the waiting room like other patients.

If you need emergency care, please still come—our team is here for you.
If your condition is not an emergency, please consider:
• Your family doctor or nurse practitioner
• Telehealth or virtual care services

Our care teams are working diligently to provide safe, high-quality care to everyone who comes through our doors. We appreciate the patience and understanding of our community during periods of high demand.

As the holiday season approaches, on behalf of the Board of Directors, staff, physicians, and leadership team at Hanover and District Hospital, I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our community.

This past year has brought both challenge and change, and through it all, we have been continually reminded of the strength, generosity, and compassion that define our community. Every day, we are inspired by the trust you place in us and by the many people who support care at HDH in meaningful ways.

We extend our sincere gratitude to our clinical volunteers, whose presence and compassion make a difference in the patient experience; to the HDH Auxiliary, whose dedication and longstanding commitment continue to support patient care and hospital priorities; and to the Hanover and District Hospital Foundation, whose leadership and fundraising efforts are critical in helping advance essential projects and enhance care close to home. We are deeply thankful for your partnership and unwavering support.

To our patients and families, thank you for trusting us with your care and for allowing us to support you during some of life’s most vulnerable moments. And to our staff and physicians, we are deeply grateful for your professionalism, compassion, and resilience, and for the exceptional care you provide every day—especially during times of continued pressure across the health system locally and regionally.

As we look ahead to the new year, we remain focused on strengthening services, advancing important redevelopment initiatives, and continuing to provide safe, compassionate, and exceptional care for our community.

Wishing you and your loved ones a holiday season filled with peace, warmth, and good health, and a new year filled with hope and possibility.
