During and after pregnancy, and when caring for your new baby, there's a lot to learn! GRH has compiled some resources for you. We hope these are helpful.
Resources at Grand River Hospital
Providing feedback
We welcome you to share your appreciation or concerns about your health care experience, knowing that your health care providers are actively listening. Your perspectives offer all of us at GRH a way to learn from your experiences and improve our services.
By beginning the feedback process with your healthcare team, they can immediately respond to your concerns and make changes.
If your concern requires further attention or you feel it should be addressed by someone not directly involved in your care, you’re welcome to contact the clinical manager in the area providing your care or our patient relations office.
