PRHC Temporarily Shifts To More Restrictive Visiting Policy

Peterborough Regional Health Centre will be moving to a more restrictive phase of temporary visiting policy on Dec. 23 as an additional measure to protect the health and safety of everyone at the hospital.

Photo courtesy of PRHC.

Under this phase of the temporary policy, the following key changes will take effect:

  • A limited number of designated essential caregivers will be permitted for specific patient groups only. Designated caregivers must be registered to the patient to come to the hospital.

  • The number of designated caregivers permitted in the patient’s room at one time will be limited to one (1) in most cases.

An essential caregiver or care partner is a person who provides support to an individual with limited capacity, an urgent medical condition, age-related issues, disability or chronic health concerns.

Caregivers may be family, friends or neighbours, and there is no age requirement to provide care. Young caregivers, adult children, spouses and peers can all provide support. These individuals are considered essential when their presence is deemed beneficial to the assessment, diagnosis, and physical and/or mental health care of the patient.

Designated essential caregivers coming to the hospital will continue to be screened at both public entrances and will be required to check in with their name and phone number at the hospital’s main information desk. They will be asked to wear a mask at all times when in the hospital, including in the patient/bed area, and to clean their hands well and frequently while at the hospital.

Visiting hours for designated essential caregivers will continue to be 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., subject to additional restrictions as detailed on PRHC’s website.

PRHC continues to strongly encourage the use of our Virtual Visiting program to support ongoing family presence while helping to keep our patients, staff and community safe. For more information about booking a visit through this program, read the FAQ document provided here.

This temporary visiting policy will remain in effect until further notice.

PRHC Foundation Receives historic $5 Million Donation From Jim Neill

PRHC Foundation President & CEO, Lesley Heighway, made the announcement at a private donor event attended by a small number of hospital and PRHC Foundation representatives, sharing that the gift is the largest donation in the PRHC’s Foundation’s history.

“Over the past year and a half, we’ve seen firsthand how vital it is that Peterborough Regional Health Centre has the people and technology needed to provide lifesaving patient care, close to home,” said Heighway. “Our hospital has an exciting vision for the future of cardiac care at PRHC – including the expansion of services and bringing new treatments to our region – but we won’t get there alone.”

Dr. Warren Ball, PRHC Interventional Cardiologist & Head of Division, Cardiology, said the donation will have a transformational impact on patient care now and in the future.

“Jim’s generosity will help us keep our hearts here today by investing in significantly improved technology,” said Dr. Ball, “and when you add state-of-the-art technology to our exceptional patient care, it will also empower us to pursue our vision for tomorrow. While the planning for this exciting opportunity is in the early stages, I can tell you we’re committed to ensuring our patients have access to the finest, most comprehensive cardiac care available, right here at PRHC.”

Neill said he was inspired to make the gift after moving back to the area and seeing how important access to cardiac care close to home is for the hundreds of thousands of potential patients that live and work in our region.

“Where I used to live in Toronto, there were four hospitals within a 15-minute drive of my home – all of which offered lifesaving emergency cardiac care,” said Neill. “As I understand it, it’s essential that we limit the time and distance our loved ones, friends and neighbours need to travel to get to get the same standard of care. I want to be part of that process of providing very timely cardiac care close to home.”

Neill added that he’s honoured to be part of the tradition of philanthropy that has supported the Health Centre from the beginning.

“The new lifesaving treatments coming to PRHC in the near future will once again change the face of cardiac care in our region,” said Neill. “I’m excited to be part of that and I hope that my donation will encourage and inspire others, as the donors who have come before have inspired me.”

Dr. Peter McLaughlin, PRHC President & CEO, told guests that the cardiac program and the overall exceptional standard of care found at PRHC would not be possible without the past support of donors.

“Over the years, many individuals, foundations and corporations have stepped forward to embrace our vision as their own, through donations of all sizes,” said McLaughlin. “Now here we are once again, about to embark on a new era of cardiac care thanks to the support of another visionary leader. That’s the power of philanthropy and we’re grateful for Jim’s and all our donors’ support.”
