Nutrition
& Food Services

Patient Food Service
Eating well is an important part of recovery. Nutritious meals are provided to inpatients using “hostess-style” service. Patients are asked about their food choice immediately prior to meal service. Patients are given a choice of a complete hot meal or can substitute a cold item for the main course. Your physician may order a special diet while you are in the hospital which may limit some of your food or beverage options.
Cafeteria Service

The cafeteria is open for morning coffee break and lunch Monday through Friday. Complete meals, snacks and beverages are available from the food merchandisers (vending) 24 hours a day.

Listowel Hours: Monday to Friday: 11:30 am – 1:00 pm
Wingham Hours: Monday to Friday: 11:45 am – 1:15 pm

Registered Dietitian Consultation
Registered Dietitians provide effective, evidence based nutritional assessment, dietary advice and support to patients and their families. The dietitians are an active member of the multidisciplinary team and develop clinically appropriate nutrition plans while working closely with nutrition and food services staff to ensure suitable therapeutic meals are provided to patients.

Emergency Department Closure

Wingham and District Hospital
Sunday, March 8th 12th, 2026

Please note that the Wingham District Hospital’s Emergency Department will be closed at the following times this weekend:

Wingham Emergancy Department will be closed on Sunday, March 8th, 2026 at 11:45 p.m. to Monday, March 9th, 2026 at 7:00 a.m.

This specific closure is related to nursing vacancies related to inclement weather. All efforts were undertaken to fill this shift. This is a last resort and we deeply regret taking this action.

Ambulances will bypass the hospital during the closure period and travel to the nearest open ED. All local health care providers will be informed of this closure.

We thank the community for their understanding.
