Norfolk General Hospital is a general hospital in Simcoe, Ontario, Canada;[1] the only one in Norfolk County. The hospital was founded in 1925.[2] It became an official teaching site for McMaster University's Faculty of Health Sciences in 2009.[3] Like many hospitals, it has a charitable foundation which helps to fund its capital acquisitions and various programs.
Services
Norfolk General Hospital is equipped with 106 beds[4] and a helipad.[5] Recent improvements include expansion of the emergency room[1] and installation of CT scan equipment.[6] Doctors with hospital privileges include specialists and surgeons.[7] The hospital also houses a nursing home for the elderly and the severely handicapped.
Recent economic problems have forced the hospital to close three beds,[8] making some nursing jobs redundant. A lack of demand, attributed to more seniors staying at home, was also cited as a reason for the closure.[8]
