Dear Clients,
With the upcoming changes to masking requirements for Ontario, we would like to share our updated protocols.
We are currently open and welcoming clients into the hospital. At this time, masks are optional, not mandatory, but we ask that you do not come in to the clinic if you are exhibiting any symptoms of COVID-19, or have a known exposure.
If you prefer to order food and supplies ahead of time, we are still offering curbside pickup.
Please continue to check back for updates, as the situation can change, and we will adjust our protocols accordingly.
ONLINE CONSULTATIONS ARE AVAILABLE
