On February 7, Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital opened with an exclusive focus on creating additional ICU and acute care capacity to help address the surge in COVID-19 cases in Ontario.
The Emergency Department at Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital is closed at this time, until the surge has been adequately addressed. Though temporary, this also means the programs scheduled to move to Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital, including Woman and Child, Inpatient Mental Health and Inpatient Stroke, will remain at Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital for now. Once the system stabilizes, Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital will fully open to the community as originally planned. The Emergency Department at Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital remains open to the support the community, as it always has.
