Keeping everyone safe

The Emergency Department is open 24/7 and ready to care for patients with serious health concerns.

We are closely monitoring respiratory illness in the community. We want to ensure everyone’s safety and well-being. We continue to serve the urgent health care needs of our communities through Almonte General Hospital and Lanark County Paramedic Services and to care for residents at Fairview Manor. We are following all procedures as directed by Public Health and the Ministry of Health.
