Four generations of the Allingham family have been born at our West Lincoln Memorial Hospital! Great-grandfather, Neil (on the right of the family photo) hopes they can continue to carry on the tradition since the new hospital is soon to open.

Obstetrics and newborn services in the new West Lincoln Memorial Hospital, which opens this coming Monday, November 24, has a new layout. There are six private birthing suites where the patient is admitted and remains for the full length of their stay. These rooms are larger, are fully equipped for labour and delivery and have all the amenities needed once the baby arrives. While in the current building, patients give birth in a birthing room, then transfer with the baby to a recovery room.

Stephanie Skeldon, clinical manager of obstetrics and newborn services at WLMH says, “having the patient stay in the same room will not only be easier on them, but it gives the new family their own space and privacy.”

Our Centre for Burn Research is the first site in Canada to test an innovative new topical treatment for reducing scarring and supporting healing after a serious burn. Scarring can tighten the skin, restrict movement and cause pain, itching and discomfort. It can affect how the skin looks and functions, making it harder to heal and protect the body. And it can impact a person’s mental health and self-confidence.

Serious bleeding after childbirth is the leading cause of maternal death worldwide. So, Dr. Esther Chin, a Hamilton Health Sciences gynecological surgeon and global health lead with the McMaster University OB-GYN department, developed a simulator called STITCH. This award-winning training tool allows health-care providers who deliver babies to practice emergency surgeries that are considered to be last resorts when a patient develops life-threatening bleeding after childbirth.

It has come to our attention that there is information circulating online about the CT scanner at our West Lincoln Memorial Hospital. We would like to assure you, as we move into the new hospital, we’re making sure all patients continue to have access to the care they need, including important diagnostic services like CT scans. Relocating this technology is a complex undertaking and we're working to have it up and running later this month in our new hospital.

Patients with scheduled appointments between now and then are being contacted by our care teams and we have a process in place to support patients requiring emergent/urgent diagnostics.

The new West Lincoln Memorial Hospital opens on November 24.
