Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) has a plan to rebuild its West Lincoln Memorial Hospital (WLMH) site with a firm commitment from the Ontario government to provide the necessary funding to do so quickly.
Dr. Mat Noble Wohlgemut explains the plan to ensure programs and services remain intact at WLMH during much-needed renovations.
HHS will continue to communicate extensively about what is happening at WLMH as this work proceeds.
In this issue, we provide an update on WLMH. We also highlight the WLM Auxilliary’s 75th anniversary celebrations and funding received from GBF Community Services.
As the Mayors for West Niagara, we thought it time we talk to you, our residents about the state of WLMH and the commitment for a long needed and long promised rebuild.
We continue to plan for and implement solutions that will allow us to provide safe care for patients until a new hospital is built.
We are working on how best to fix the problems while minimizing the impact on the community and on our WLMH team.
Read updates on OR nursing staff recruitment, the WLMH Transition Planning Working Group, and the ongoing infrastructure renewal.
The main entrance will be closed for approximately five days for critical infrastructure upgrades.
Premier Doug Ford reinforced his commitment to West Lincoln Memorial Hospital again in the government’s first budget.
Our combined efforts have resulted in a surge of applications in the last few weeks and we are contacting and interviewing qualified candidates as quickly as possible.
Due to a nation-wide shortage of operating room nurses, we are taking limited and temporary steps to redirect obstetrical care, and only on weekends.
We’re looking for operating room nurses to join our team at West Lincoln Memorial Hospital.
Rob MacIsaac and Julia Kamula introduce the new WLMH website.
Premier Ford’s commitment is a significant milestone. Thank you for making your voices heard and for advocating so passionately.
