Norfolk General Hospital Labour and Delivery Unit closes Sept 13.
​All Midwives of East Erie births at Brantford Community Health System.
       It is with a heavy heart that we share the news that Norfolk General Hospital’s (NGH) Labour and Delivery’s is temporarily closing. This closure, in part due to Canada-wide nursing shortages and COVID-19, is expected to last 12-24 months effective September 13, 2021, according to the NGH Communications and Public Relations Director.
       Although we are saddened to leave our NGH staff-family, we are looking forward to reinforcing our relations with our Brantford Community Health System (BCHS) colleagues starting September 14, 2021. Along with NGH and BCHS, the Midwives of East Erie have developed a safe and comprehensive transition plan to ensure our clients of Haldimand and Norfolk continue to receive quality prenatal, intrapartum and postpartum care.
       Over the next few days we will be contacting or meeting with our clients with imminent births and will be happy to answer your questions then.
