The Kateri Memorial Hospital Centre (KMHC) wishes to inform the community that homemade and restaurant food will now be accepted for residents beginning this Sunday, August 2, 2020, and will continue every Drop-Off Sunday following.
Following the Infection Prevention and Control protocols in place for COVID-19, KMHC kindly asks that these food deliveries be done by family members. If it is from a restaurant, a family member must pick up the food and deliver it themself to the drop-off site. KMHC will not accept restaurant deliveries; restaurant delivery drivers will be turned away for safety reasons. Food containers will be wiped down and disinfected.
KMHC asks that family members that drop off food clearly label the food container(s) with the following:
- Name of the resident
- Any reheating/refrigeration instructions
Please keep in mind that there is limited refrigeration space, so storage may or may not be available for all food items depending on the volume.
Please inform KMHC if a meal is to be dropped off by calling 450-638-3930 ext. 2238 or contact the resident directly so that arrangements can be made with the KMHC kitchen staff.
(Kahnawake – 10, Ohiarihkó:wa/July 2020) The Kateri Memorial Hospital Centre (KMHC) wishes to remind the community that Dr. Suzanne Jones plans to retire later this year, in December 2020. As previously announced in last week’s communiqué regarding her retirement, blocks of her clients will be gradually transferred to Dr. Marie-Eve Fiset-Morissette. As well, some blocks of her clients will be transferred to Dr. Annick Gauthier.
“We are making every effort to prioritize clients with chronic medical conditions and the elderly from the community for transfer to Dr. Fiset-Morissette and Dr. Gauthier,” notes Dr. Suzanne Jones “An initial block of 350 of my clients have been transferred to Dr. Fiset-Morissette for her start here at KMHC.”
The remaining clients of Dr. Jones will stay under her care in the meantime, with an additional block of clients transferring to Dr. Fiset-Morissette in the fall. Dr. Gauthier will be taking on 175 of Dr. Jones’ clients by August, which will be in addition to her current client-base.
“We are making every effort possible to transfer and accommodate as many clients as we can,” said Dr. Jones. “However, to be transparent with the community, while most of my clients will be transferred to Dr. Fiset-Morissette and Dr. Gauthier, there will be some clients who will become unregistered.”
Those clients from the community who may become unregistered will still have access to the Saturday clinics and will be able to call during regular hours to book an urgent appointment if a physician is available after speaking with a nurse.
KMHC will provide further details regarding the client transfers as we approach the retirement date of Dr. Jones.
