THUNDER BAY - As the number of COVID-19 cases in the district continues to decline, the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre is increasing capacity slightly to allow for more urgent and emergent surgeries and procedures.
“Given the current state of COVID-19, both in the province and in our community specifically and given the fact that we haven’t received any critical care transfers, we are cautiously adding increased capacity back into our system to proportionally balance the need to be ready versus the need to continue urgent and emergent surgeries in our community,” said TBRHSC president and CEO, Rhonda Crocker Ellacott.

KENORA – Kenora-area residents now have a chance to access spinal surgery closer to home, thanks to a new partnership between the Lake of the Woods District Hospital and the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre.
Multiple patients have already undergone orthopaedic procedures in Kenora, the hospitals reported in a joint release Monday.
The expansion of services comes through the TBRHSC’s Regional Surgical Services program, which has also seen partnerships created with Dryden Regional Health Care and Riverside Health Care in Fort Frances since launching in 2016.
