Waterloo Regional Health Network (WRHN) is taking an additional step to ensure the health and safety of staff, patients and the community by implementing a vaccine process for care partners who come to the hospital to support the care of patients.

Effective October, 12, staff, physicians, students, volunteers and contractors working at and with local hospitals will be required to be fully vaccinated. Staff who do not meet this will be placed on leave without pay and given a short window into early-November to meet the policy.
