Headwaters
Health Care Centre
Send
a Personalized Message to a Loved One or Friend
Orangeville
– Support from family and friends plays an important role in patient
recovery. Headwaters Health Care Centre now offers a service to allow
friends and family to email a patient staying at either Headwaters
Orangeville or Headwaters Shelburne. Personalized messages from family and
friends will be delivered directly to the patient’s bedside.
“At
Headwaters we recognize that patient-centred care begins with positive
support from family and friends,” says Bob Baynham, Headwaters President
& CEO. “We are pleased to offer our community Patient Email, a free
service, which allows family and friends to stay in touch with a patient
during a hospital stay.”
To
send an email greeting, simply click on the Patient Email icon at www.headwatershealth.ca,
fill out the form and submit. Your message will be sent to the Auxiliary
Office at the Orangeville site. Emails will be delivered during business
hours of 9 am to 4 pm, Monday to Friday. Messages received outside of
these hours will be delivered the next business day.
Patients
will not be able to send an electronic reply to an incoming patient email.
“We
would like to thank our Auxiliary volunteers for enthusiastically agreeing
to support this new service,” says Baynham. “Our volunteers provide
hundreds of hours of service to our hospital each year. This will be yet
another way our volunteers will enhance the patient experience at
Headwaters.”
