Omicron and your care at St. Mary's

As we move through this wave of Omicron together, St. Mary’s commits to continue delivering high quality, safe and effective care to you and your family.

To ensure there is a bed for you, a qualified care provider and the ability to perform necessary procedures, St. Mary’s will continue to follow provincial guidance on maintaining safe staffing levels in our hospitals. There may be some scenarios where we need to take action to make sure that there are sufficiently qualified staff to care for you. Rest assured that our experts are constantly balancing minimizing risk to staff and patients, while protecting the ability to provide care.

As COVID-19 case rates continue to rise in our community, our leaders may deem it necessary to bring staff back to work who have been identified as a high-risk contact and have tested negative for COVID-19. As you receive your care, there is no need to question individual care providers about their health--all St. Mary’s Hospital employees are in compliance with strict provincial guidance on screening, testing and return to work protocols.  

We thank you for helping to curb COVID-19 cases by following public health guidelines and keeping each other safe.
