Emergency Departments at both sites of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital (PSFDH) are seeing an extremely high number of patients.
The PSFDH Team continues to assess each person and treat the sickest patients first. This means that some patients may experience a longer wait.
If you require immediate medical help, please call 911 and paramedics will assist and transport you to the nearest emergency department for care, if needed.
To help the hospitals efficiently respond to the community’s emergency needs, if you feel your injury or illness is minor:
• Contact your Primary Care Provider
• Visit Health811 or call 811 (TTY: 1-866-797-0007)
• Visit East Region Virtual Care Clinic at www.virtualcareontario.ca
• Contact your local pharmacist
As always, there are certain expectations when you attend the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital.
Please ensure that all interactions are respectful, kind and calm.
