The Listowel Wingham Hospitals Alliance (LWHA) participated in Accreditation Canada’s survey process November 22-25, 2021. LWHA is proud to announce that the hospital has been awarded “Accredited with Exemplary Standing” by Accreditation Canada. All staff, physicians, volunteers, patient partners and our Board of Directors are commended for their hard work and dedication to safe, quality care for our patients and community.
With respiratory virus season upon us, we are implementing enhanced masking measures in clinical areas across the hospital. These steps are designed to protect our most vulnerable patients and help keep our frontline healthcare teams healthy throughout the season.
Here’s what you need to know:
– Family caregivers and visitors are expected to mask in patient rooms.
– Masks continue to be required for everyone entering the ED and in the ED waiting room.
– Masks are highly recommended in all other outpatient areas.
– Anyone with respiratory symptoms who cannot postpone their visit must wear a mask for their entire time in the hospital.
Thank you for doing your part to keep our community safe.
Please note that the Wingham District Hospital’s Emergency Department will be closed at the following times this weekend:
Wingham ED will be closed on Friday December 19, 2025 (today) from 2100 to 0700 (9pm-7am).
