🍎 Happy Dietitian's Day!

Today we celebrate Dietitian’s Day and recognize the incredible work of the Registered Dietitians at DRDH! 🍎🥗

Our Dietitians are experts in nutrition and counselling, helping patients and residents understand how food can support better health, manage chronic conditions, and improve overall wellbeing. From supporting patients across our hospital and North Renfrew Family Health Team, as well as residents in the Four Seasons Lodge, their work plays an important role in helping our community live healthier lives.

Through individualized nutrition counselling, our Dietitians support people with a wide range of concerns including digestive disorders, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, food allergies, prenatal nutrition, weight management, and more.

If you are a patient of the North Renfrew Family Health Team, you can book an appointment to meet one-on-one with our Dietitian to discuss your nutrition goals and receive personalized guidance. Our Dietitian also offers free group classes throughout the year on a variety of nutrition topics that are open to everyone in the community - stay tuned for upcoming dates!

Join us in thanking our Dietitians for the knowledge, compassion, and care they bring to our patients and residents every day. 💚

This week, we’re proud to celebrate Social Work Week and recognize the incredible contributions of our Social Worker, Michael, here at DRDH.

Working across both the North Renfrew Family Health Team and our Medical Inpatient Unit, Michael provides compassionate, person-centred support to individuals and families when they need it most. From one-on-one counselling with adults and children to helping patients navigate mental health concerns, stress, life transitions, and other personal challenges, his work plays an essential role in the care we provide.

Whether supporting someone through a difficult diagnosis, offering tools to manage anxiety, or helping families access community resources, Michael brings empathy, professionalism, and a steady presence to every interaction. His work strengthens not only the well-being of individual patients, but the overall health of our community.

Please join us in thanking Michael for the care, expertise, and dedication he brings to DRDH each and every day. 💙

Working together to strengthen our community’s emergency preparedness!

DRDH was pleased to host Incident Management System (IMS) 200 training by Emergency Management Ontario last week, welcoming participants from a broad range of community partners, including Miramachi Lodge, North Renfrew Long-Term Care Services Inc., Valley Manor, County of Renfrew, Town of Petawawa, Marianhill, Groves Park Lodge and others. Bringing leaders and responders together in one room strengthens coordination, communication, and clarity when it matters most.

This week, we’re proud to celebrate Resident Doctors Appreciation Week at DRDH! 🩺

We’re so grateful to have incredible resident physicians like Dr. Sypes and Dr. Ritchie, pictured here, training with us here in Deep River this week. Whether they’re providing care in the Emergency Department, supporting our Medical Inpatient Unit, or learning about rural medicine, their dedication and compassion make a meaningful impact across our organization every single day.

We also love seeing the connections built beyond the clinical setting - like this recent photo of residents and physicians enjoying a bowling night together! These fun experiences are part of what makes training in a rural community so special.

Thank you to all the residents who choose DRDH to complete rural or emergency medicine blocks as part of your residency journey. We’re honoured to be part of your training and proud to support the next generation of physicians. If you’re interested in coordinating a future block with us, we’d love to connect — reach out to learn more about training opportunities in Deep River.

Please join us in recognizing our resident doctors for the meaningful contributions they make to our patients, our team, and our community. 🩵

Our team is always learning and strengthening the skills that keep everyone safe. 💙

Last week, DRDH hosted Non-Violent Crisis Intervention Instructor Training with our partners at St Francis Memorial Hospital and Renfrew Victoria Hospital. This important training equips our care team to share practical tools to prevent, de-escalate, and safely respond to challenging situations with confidence and compassion.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this instructor training so we can continue to foster a safe, respectful environment for both our patients and our team members.
