It’s likely that Arnprior Regional Health may become a host hospital for patients being transferred from out-of-region.
As of Monday, the Province’s hospitals began following an Ontario Health directive to ramp down all elective surgeries and non-emergent/non-urgent activities.
Because Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) only performs day surgeries that do not impact bed capacity, this directive does not apply locally.
However, Arnprior Regional Health may be accepting increased patient transfers, according to Chief Executive Officer Eric Hanna, as the local hospital moves to support Ontario’s Health system.
The ARH Team will work closely with Ontario Health and hospital partners in the region to provide the health system with the necessary support available within its 141-bed capacity.
