Did you know Nurse Practitioners can diagnose illnesses, prescribe medicine, and manage your care from start to finish?

It’s National Nurse Practitioner Week, and today we’re proud to recognize Shelley, our incredible Nurse Practitioner at WHGH. 💙

Nurse Practitioners are registered nurses with advanced education and training. They provide many of the same services as physicians, including assessing and treating patients, ordering and reviewing tests, and prescribing medicine. At WHGH, you’ll find Shelley caring for patients in our Emergency Department, supporting individuals and families when they need help the most.

What sets Nurse Practitioners apart is how they blend expert medical knowledge with compassionate nursing care. Shelley takes time to listen, support, and guide patients through their care. Her work helps people recover, manage long-term health needs, and feel more confident in their health.

This week, we want to say thank you, Shelley. Your skill, kindness, and dedication make a real difference every day.

We are so proud and fortunate to have you on our team. ❤

Happy National Nurse Practitioner Week! 💙👏

Today, West Haldimand General Hospital joins Canadians across the country in honouring the brave men and women who have served, and continue to serve, our nation.

Remembrance Day is a time to pause, reflect, and give thanks.

It reminds us of the freedoms we enjoy every day, to speak freely, to vote, to live in peace, because of those who stood for something greater than themselves.

Since 1919, Canadians have gathered on this day to remember the courage, sacrifice, and legacy of our veterans. We wear poppies, share stories, and stand in silence to ensure their memory lives on.

At 10:58 a.m., the “Last Post” will play at WHGH, followed by two minutes of silence. Flags will be lowered to half-mast in a solemn tribute to those who served and to those who gave their lives.

Lest we forget. ❤️

It’s Medical Radiation Technologists Week at West Haldimand General Hospital 💙

This week, we’re celebrating the incredible work of our Medical Radiation Technologists (MRTs) and the Diagnostic Imaging team who care for our community every single day.

These professionals use advanced imaging technology to help detect, diagnose, and monitor health conditions. From ultrasounds and mammograms to X-rays and ECGs, their skill and precision give care teams the information they need to make confident decisions and help patients heal.

Our Diagnostic Imaging team includes about 16 dedicated staff members who bring compassion and expertise to every scan. They are there in moments of uncertainty, helping provide clarity and peace of mind for patients and families 💖

In the past year at West Haldimand General Hospital, our MRTs:

➡ Captured over 15,000 X-rays to assess injuries and conditions quickly
➡ Performed nearly 3,900 ultrasounds to guide care and support families
➡ Conducted about 1,500 mammograms to promote early detection and prevention
➡ Completed more than 3,800 ECGs to help monitor and assess heart health

Their work often happens behind the scenes, but its impact reaches every corner of the hospital and every part of our community

To our MRTs, thank you for the care you provide and the difference you make every day. Your dedication helps bring health and hope to so many 💙 🙏
😁👏

👋 Meet Kari, an Infection Control Practitioner at West Haldimand General Hospital (WHGH).

When you or a loved one comes to the hospital, you expect to be safe. That is where Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) comes in. IPAC may not always be visible, but it is one of the most important parts of care. Kari is part of the small but vital team that protects patients, families, and staff from the spread of infection every single day.

Kari has been at WHGH for five years and has worked in IPAC since 2008. Her work touches almost every corner of the hospital. She collaborates with nurses, physicians, and staff across departments, and works with community partners.

She helps update policies to meet Ministry and best practice standards, provides guidance to Occupational Health, Housekeeping, and Nutrition Services, supports maintenance and contractors during projects, and prepares reports for the Ministry. “We do a little bit of everything,” Kari explained.

At the heart of her work is patient safety. “If we do not follow IPAC guidelines, we put patients, visitors, and staff at risk,” she said. “Our role is to develop and implement safety measures that prevent transmission and outbreaks.”

This work means safer hospital stays for patients, peace of mind for families, and a healthier workplace for staff.

What Kari enjoys most is the variety. “There are always opportunities for learning and development. I get to wear many different shoes as an IPAC Practitioner.”

Her journey began as a Registered Practical Nurse. “I was losing interest and wanted something more,” she shared. A workplace injury shifted her path and introduced her to Infection Prevention. “That is when I knew IPAC was my calling. I could see the role was making a difference in patients’ lives. I wanted to be part of that change and have a voice.”

👏 Thank you, Kari, for protecting patients, families, and staff at WHGH. Our hospital is safer and stronger because of you.
