Have you checked your boo-bies lately? 👻 👻

Don’t ghost your health! 1 in 3 eligible people are not up to date on breast screening. Early detection can catch cancer before symptoms appear, when treatment is most successful.

Contact the Simcoe Muskoka Cancer Screening Hotline: call 1-866-608-6910 for help getting up to date on cancer screening.

It’s Canadian Patient Safety Week!

Safe care is something we create together. Every patient, family member, caregiver and member of Team RVH plays a role. Asking questions, speaking up about concerns and sharing your experiences all help protect patients and strengthen care for everyone.

Safety isn’t only what happens at the bedside. It’s in every meal prepared, every room cleaned, every policy updated and every piece of technology improved.
This week, our Patient Safety and Experience team has been connecting with staff across RVH to highlight how we can all make a difference—one conversation, one idea and one voice at a time.

Thank you for partnering with us. When every voice is heard, safer care happens.
