St. Joseph’s Healthcare is looking into the next phase of pandemic management, which includes bringing back procedures and services that were cancelled due to COVID-19.
That won’t be an immediate process, according to Melissa Farrell, president of St. Joseph’s Healthcare in Hamilton. Although Hamilton may have reached its peak in cases, she told Global News Radio 900 CHML’s Bill Kelly Show that their hospitals still need to maintain space for a potential surge in cases. “We still have to be quite vigilant to ensure that we maintain some of that surge capacity, for obviously some of the blips that we can expect to see, and to support our colleagues out in the community,” said Farrell.
