Things are slowly starting to return to normal at Hamilton’s hospitals amid the COVID-19 pandemic. After temporarily suspending non-emergent appointments and procedures in response to the COVID-19 health crisis, Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) and St.
Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton (SJHH) have received approval from Ontario Health to begin gradually resuming scheduled care. It means, starting Friday, May 29, local hospitals will resume postponed care, starting with patients who have the most urgent needs, in what is being called “a slow, phased approach.” Those patients will be contacted by their hospital or family doctor’s office to reschedule their appointment or procedure.
