Ambulance offload times have dropped significantly at Guelph General Hospital (GGH) – to wait times paramedics and hospital staff haven’t seen since before the pandemic.
The Region of Waterloo Paramedic Service plans to implement a new Fit 2 Sit program this fall that will speed up the process of transferring patients to hospital if those patients can safely wait for care in a hospital’s waiting room.
Waterloo Region’s ambulances were in a “code red” situation once again on both Friday and Saturday evening – meaning there were no ambulances available to accept new calls.
