Deep River and District Health (DRDH) is pleased to announce that renovations to our hospital’s Emergency Department will begin this week, bringing important upgrades to enhance the experience for patients, families, and care team members. These important upgrades will improve accessibility, privacy, and overall flow, while ensuring the Emergency Department remains fully open throughout the renovation period.
Planned improvements include new private and accessible areas for triage and registration, expanded seating for patients and families, as well as redesigned spaces to support better movement and workflow for both patients and care teams. Together, these changes will help improve confidentiality and efficiency for everyone who visits the department.
A portion of the funding for the renovations has been made possible through the tremendous support of the Deep River and District Health Auxiliary, who have a longstanding history of strengthening healthcare services at DRDH through dedicated volunteerism and generous financial contributions.
Renovation work will be completed in stages to minimize disruption as much as possible. The Emergency Department will remain open, and patients and visitors are asked to follow posted signage and temporary wayfinding as construction progresses. DRDH team members will be available to assist anyone who needs help navigating the space.
DRDH would like to thank our community for their patience and understanding over the coming months and we look forward to sharing updates as the project moves forward.
