Headwaters Health Care Centre has begun a gradual resumption of procedures and surgeries that were paused on March 19 due to the pandemic.
They have been working with their regional hospitals, community partners including primary care physicians, Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health and patients, to develop a phased plan that is focused on scheduled surgical procedures and endoscopies.
Headwaters officials say they will start with 50 percent capacity on reopening this week with a gradual ramp-up to 100 percent capacity in about a month.
The provincial government has set-out a strict framework that hospitals must follow during their ramp-up.
It’s expected to be months before the hospital is able to manage the backlog of cases.
