Health Care Team

Your attending physician is the doctor responsible for your medical care and who arranges for your admission to the Hospital. If you have any questions or concerns about your medical care, be sure to discuss them with your attending physician.

In addition to your doctor, there is a team of professionals at the Almonte General Hospital who work together, in collaboration with you, to provide your high-quality health care. This Health Care Team includes nursing staff – both Registered Nurses and Registered Practical Nurses – a pharmacist, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, mental health nurse consultant, dietician, speech pathologist, volunteers and a discharge planner. Members of the team, through individual contact with you and team conferences, ensure the ongoing assessment, planning, provision, evaluation of your plan of care and treatment and discharge back to your home or other facility.

Your input is important during all phases of your care, including your needs for discharge. Please feel free to discuss any aspects of your care with members of the team who are working with you. The Nurse Manager of your unit is responsible for making sure the unit runs as smoothly as possible and is available to respond to your questions and concerns. Our commitment is to do all we can to meet your expectations and goals.
