👻 Halloween brought smiles across Bluewater Health as staff from every corner of the hospital joined in the fun with festive costumes and team spirit! 💙

As you head out for trick-or-treating tonight, remember to stay safe:

Use reflective gear and flashlights
Walk on sidewalks and cross at corners
Check treats before eating
Drive slowly and stay alert for little ghosts and goblins

World Stroke Day – Act F.A.S.T. to save a life 🎗️

When Max’s dad started showing signs of a stroke, he trusted his instincts — recognizing the symptoms and calling 9-1-1 right away. That quick action helped save his dad’s life. ❤️

Stroke can happen to anyone, at any time. Knowing what to look for could make all the difference for someone you love.

📽️ Watch Max share their story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fcot6ti4Now

Remember the signs — think F.A.S.T.:

Face drooping

Arm weakness

Speech difficulty

Time to call 9-1-1

Every second counts. Together, we can spread the word and save lives.

When someone is having a stroke, every second counts. If you recognize any of the signs, call 9-1-1 immediately. An ambulance will get you to the best hospit...

It was an inspiring two days at Queen’s Park for Sarnia-Lambton Chamber Advocacy Days!

Our President & CEO, Paula Reaume-Zimmer, joined regional leaders in sharing Sarnia-Lambton’s priorities with key provincial decision-makers - including the Minister of Health, policy staff from the Ministry of Seniors and Accessibility, and representatives from the Ministry of Energy and Mines, Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness, and the Associate Minister of Small Business.

The delegation also hosted an MPP Breakfast, attended sessions of Question Period, and even had a quick visit with Premier Doug Ford! From healthcare and accessibility to energy, infrastructure, and small business growth, they had meaningful discussions about the issues that matter most to our community.

A huge thank-you to the Sarnia Lambton Chamber of Commerce, the amazing vendors, sponsors, and delegates for making this advocacy initiative possible — and to MPP Bob Bailey for being a gracious host and ongoing champion for the Sarnia-Lambton community.

Together, we’re making sure Sarnia-Lambton’s voice is heard loud and clear at Queen’s Park and beyond!
