Huron Health System’s efforts in establishing the CAC/CCFCC was an effective and efficient method of diverting lower acuity patients away from hospital Emergency Departments and was a prime example of how healthcare can be nimble and respond to the rapidly changing healthcare needs of our communities.
Thank you to all who were involved and provided support for the CAC/CCFCC.
Please know that COVID is still prevalent in our community. If you feel unwell, please continue taking precautions to help limit the spread of respiratory ailments. Patients requiring care for severe COVID symptoms should continue to seek care at the nearest Emergency Department.
