Restorative Care Program Opens in Cornwall to Improve Care, Ease Pressures on Hospital
|
|
St. Joseph’s Continuing Care Centre has opened eight new beds for clients from the Cornwall Community Hospital, who no longer need acute care and await an ‘alternate level of care’ (ALC). The goal of the Restorative Care Program is to strengthen and condition patients to a degree of independence that will allow them to be discharged to the community (e.g. home, retirement residence). It is expected the program will prevent admissions to long-term care homes.

CT Scan Services
|
|
The capital construction project underway at the Hospital requires us to relocate our current CT Suite into a new location on the McConnell Avenue site. This involves the dismantling of the CT Scanner and re-assembly in the new location. Unfortunately this will take approximately 4-5 weeks given the nature of the equipment, required testing and recalibration.

CCH Board & Medical Staff Outraged by Limited System Capacity for Elderly
|
|
While Cornwall Community Hospital braces for further surgical cancellations the Board and Medical Staff at the hospital ask the question: “when will the system show signs of hope for these elderly patients?”
“Our seniors deserve quality care designed to meet their unique needs” said Dr. Garret Foley, President of the Cornwall Academy of Medicine. “While these patients no longer require acute care they should be entitled to quality care either within the community or in a long term care setting.”
