This week, our oncology team at Brantford General Hospital had the honour of celebrating a very special moment with one of our patients, Ted — his 150th chemotherapy treatment. His nurses surprised him with a cake marked “Happy 150” to recognize not just the number, but the strength, resilience, and spirit he brings to every visit.

“Ted has been bravely navigating his journey with colon cancer, and we continue to see great control of his cancer in his first line of treatment,” says Rachel, one of Ted’s oncology nurses.

At BCHS, we’re cheering him on every step of the way and supporting him through each phase of care.💜

As families prepare to gather for the holidays and the new year ahead, health experts at Brant Community Healthcare System (BCHS) are reminding residents that prevention is the best gift you can give yourself and your loved ones this festive season.

While taking steps to stay healthy is the priority, BCHS also wants the community to know that care is close at hand – whether through the emergency department or other local health services should illness or injury occur.

“Winter brings unique challenges,” Dr. Tom Szakacs, infectious disease lead at BCHS, explained. “Colder weather means we spend more time indoors, often in close contact with others and shared surfaces.

At the same time, seasonal infections like flu, RSV, colds, and COVID tend to rise. That combination makes prevention especially important during the holidays.”

Call for Land issued for New Brantford-Brant Hospital Site!

The independent Task Force leading the Brant Community Healthcare System site identification process for a new hospital has officially issued a public Call for Land, inviting interested landowners to submit their sites for consideration as the future home of the new hospital serving Brantford-Brant and surrounding communities.

✅ Public Call for Land Proposals: https://shorturl.at/Faqo3
📆 Stage 1 Deadline: February 10, 2026, at 15:00 PM EST

“We’re asking landowners across Brantford-Brant who have sites that meet the criteria we’re looking for to put forward their sites for consideration,” said Don Shilton, Chair of the site identification Task Force. “The community has helped us define what matters most, and now we’re ready to find the site that will serve our region for generations to come. I’m confident we’ll find a great location for the new hospital.”

Community input and involvement have been essential in shaping this process, and we thank everyone who has contributed to the development of the evaluation criteria. We look forward to continued collaboration as we move closer to a new hospital for Brantford-Brant.

✨ The holiday season has officially started at BCHS!

Today, a mother–daughter duo delivered bundles of goodies and joyful cheer to our staff, patients and families.

Fun fact: this duo is extra special to BCHS — Danielle is a dedicated nurse in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and Dianne is one of our long-standing volunteers, always rounding wherever she can to bring a smile to little ones and their families.🎄💛

Every day is a busy day at BCHS.

As we’re in RSV season, we ask that you please consider all alternative care options (family doctor, access care clinic, walk-in clinic, pharmacy, Health811, etc.) before coming to the ED with non-life-threatening issues.

But, if you choose to come to the ED, we’re always here to help.

Check out this video to learn how the ED works, why you wait, and the never-ending flow of actions and decisions that are needed to manage the patients coming through for treatment.
