On International Women’s Day, ARH participated in a wonderful event run by Urban Runaway that highlighted women’s health. The women in attendance heard about the Ontario Breast Screening Program, the mammogram experience at ARH, and the importance of screening.

Thank you to Lisa Woodtke for representing ARH, and to Leslie Anne Hook for hosting.

What a fantastic day of education and celebration!

📢 REMINDER: THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT TRIAGE RENOVATION HAS BEGUN.

We are always looking for ways to improve patient care and staff safety. That’s why, starting March 4, 2025 we’ll begin renovations to our Emergency Department triage area.

These updates were prioritized based on patient and staff feedback and made possible through funding from the Pay-for-Results (P4R) program, which helps hospitals enhance emergency department efficiency and patient care.

During the two-to-three-week renovation period, triage will be temporarily relocated to Exam Room 1. If you arrive at the Emergency Department during this time:

🟢 Ring the bell at the triage entrance, as usual
🟢 Take a seat in Area 1, and a nurse will bring you to the temporary triage area
🟢 Expect some minor disruptions—we appreciate your patience as we work to improve our space
We are excited about these changes and grateful for your understanding as we make this important investment in our Emergency Department.

March is Nutrition Month!

Clinical Dietician Deb has prepared weekly nutrition tips.

Nutrition tip 💡 Kickstart your day with a balanced meal

You may have heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but is there science to back it up? Actually, yes! A balanced breakfast can provide several benefits:

A source of key nutrients: Breakfast foods like dairy, whole grains, and eggs provide calcium, iron, B vitamins, fibre, and protein, and more, helping you meet daily requirements.
Supports blood sugar control : Eating on a regular schedule (every 3-4 hours) helps prevent large fluctuations in blood sugars, keeping energy levels steady.
Reduces cardio metabolic risk factors: Studies show that regular breakfast eaters have a reduced risk of high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
Regulates appetite: Providing your body with energy early on may prevent excessive hunger later in the day, reducing the tendency to overeat.

This week’s featured recipe: Mushroom, spinach, tomato frittata -https://dairynutrition.ca/sites/dairynutrition/files/pdf_file_browser/REVISED%20Frittata%20EN.pdf

🥬 Spinach – Rich in B vitamins and iron, essential for energy metabolism.
🍅 Tomatoes – High in lycopene, an antioxidant linked to heart health.
🍄‍🟫 Mushrooms – A great source of selenium, which supports immunity and brain function.
🥚 Eggs – A high-quality protein to keep you energized and feeling satiated.

As part of Pride in Food Services week last week, the Dietary team hosted an Iron Chef/Black Box Challenge at both sites to challenge staff to cook creatively.

Both kitchens were hoppin', and when the buzzer sounded, the judges were treated to some excellent dishes. Congratulations to the winning teams:

- The Senior Sizzlins (Andrea, Jeff, and Janet) at the Hospital, who served up cheesey and delicious Quarterback Bacon Snack Bread
- The Taste Bud Titans at the Grove Home (Jen, Suzy, and Lynn) who created a unique twist on a chicken fajita bowl.
