Dear friends and neighbours of Haliburton County,
As we reach the two-year anniversary of the declaration of the pandemic in Ontario, it’s important that we take a moment to reflect.
At HHHS, we are deeply grateful for the exceptional effort and dedication of our entire team, who have shown up and stepped-up countless times to keep delivering the high-quality care that our community depends on. Through exceptional challenges and near-constant change, they have given it their all, in service of our community.
I also want to recognize how incredibly difficult these two years have been on everyone – residents in our Long-Term Care homes and their loved ones, patients, clients, HHHS volunteers, and of course, the community as a whole. HHHS is thankful to each one of you for the role you have played in helping us get through these past two years, while doing your best to keep our community safe.
As the Government of Ontario starts to ease certain public health measures, HHHS will remain cautious in our approach, while being hopeful that these announcements are a positive sign of better days ahead.
Of note, the province will be lifting mandatory masking requirements in a number of public settings on March 21, 2022.
At HHHS, we will maintain all enhanced infection prevention measures, including screening before entry to our facilities and universal masking in all public and patient/resident care areas. Our screeners will continue to provide all essential caregivers and visitors with a medical-grade mask, which should be worn at all times when inside our facilities.
HHHS will continue to closely monitor the local, regional, and provincial situation, as well as new guidance from the Ministry of Long-Term Care and Ministry of Health, and will re-evaluate these measures in early April.
Take care,
Carolyn Plummer
President & CEO
