Quinte Health North Hastings Patient Services Directory
Hospital, Trenton Memorial Hospital, Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital and North Hastings Hospital.
The people who work across our hospitals—a dedicated team of talented health care and support professionals—are our greatest strength. In addition to our caring and committed health care professionals, Quinte Health is also fortunate to receive community support from hard-working volunteers who give freely of their time and talents to serve our patients, staff and visitors. Exceptional community support also extends to our Foundations, which raise much-needed donations that enable us to purchase state-of-the-art medical equipment that improves care for you and your loved ones.
Two of our Quinte Health values are ‘Imagine it’s you’ and ‘Value everyone’. We want your health care experience to be a positive one. We welcome opportunities to hear about your experiences while under our care to help us learn what we are doing well and where we can improve. Contact our Patient Experience Specialist at (613) 332-2825 ext. 2033 or via email at feedback@qhc.on.ca. We value your feedback and look forward to serving you during your time with us.

Working Together to Combat the Spread of Germs
Hand hygiene is one the best ways you, your visitors and your health care team can prevent the spread of microorganisms.
Did you know that microorganisms are most often spread through your hands?
There are two ways to clean your hands:
• Using soap and water if your hands are visibly soiled. Rub hands together briskly for 15 seconds
• With 70% alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Dispensers are located throughout Quinte Health, including near the entrance of and within each patient room. Rub hands briskly together until alcohol has dried
Your health care team works hard to keep their hands clean. There are four important moments when your health care team must clean their hands:
• Before they come to your bedside
• After they have come into direct contact with you or anything in your room
• After they have had contact with blood or body fluids (ie. if they have assisted you with toileting or changed a dressing)
• When they leave your room or bedside
Our patients play an important role in preventing the spread of microorganisms. Make sure to clean your hands:
• After toileting
• After sneezing or blowing your nose
• Before meals
• If you are leaving your room
• Before you come back into your room if you have been off the unit for tests, therapies or to walk in the halls
You will be provided with a hand wipe on your meal tray to clean your hands before meals.
As a visitor, when you come to a hospital, hand hygiene is your responsibility too. Please clean your hands:
• Before entering a patient’s room
• After having any direct hands-on contact with a patient (ie. helping with toileting, a bath or feeding a patient)
• When you leave a patient’s room
• If you use the washroom (we ask that visitors use public washrooms located along the corridor on each unit and throughout Quinte Health)
Isolation Precautions
To prevent the spread of microorganisms and to help keep you, your visitors, and your care team safe, you may require special isolation precautions while you are hospitalized. If so, you will have a special sign posted on the door to your room to guide staff and visitors coming to see you. If you require isolation precautions, your health care providers will come into your room wearing appropriate personal protective equipment, which could include a gown, gloves, mask and eye protection. You may also be required to wear a mask when anyone enters your room.
North Hastings Hospital
Visitor Information Boards
Visitor information boards are located on each nursing unit. They are located near the elevators to help visitors understand isolation signage and how to put on an isolation gown, hand hygiene and other important information.
Remember….
Please ask your visitors to stay home if they are sick with any illness, including sore throat, runny nose, cough, fever, upset stomach or diarrhea.
For any Infection and Prevention related questions, please call extension 2361 to speak with a member of the Infection Prevention and Control Team.
Quinte Health’s Values
Our values make us proud and reflect our courage. They are unique to Quinte Health and, while not a full representation of everything we do and everything we are, they embody our culture and how our teams strive to live and work every day. They are reflective of who we are as people and can be embraced by everyone connected to our hospitals—our staff, physicians, volunteers, foundations, learners, board members, patients, families, partners and community.
Imagine it’s you
We show empathy and compassion with every interaction, always treating others as we would want ourselves or our family members to be treated. We ensure everyone feels safe and welcome, and take an extra moment to ensure we are treating each patient, family and coworker with humanity and kindness.
Value everyone
Everyone has their own story and is walking a unique path. We value each individual for who they are and appreciate their experiences and the lens through which they view the world. No matter who we are interacting with and for what purpose, we strive to see the whole person and we demonstrate inclusion, equity, dignity and respect, embracing each other’s differences without labels or judgement.
We all make a difference
We each play a role individually and collectively in helping to improve lives and in making our hospitals and communities stronger. We celebrate the achievements and recognize the valuable contributions of the individuals and many teams that make up our hospitals. We embrace lifelong learning and are proactive, accountable, dedicated, and responsive to the needs of our community, our patients and their families, and each other.
Stronger together
We are united as a steadfast, supportive and resilient team of individuals, departments and hospitals pursuing quality care, innovation and continuous improvement. We are there for one another and work collaboratively together and with community partners to provide the best care possible for patients and our community.
Please care for us, while we care for you. Our hospitals are a place of respect for patients, families, guests, volunteers and staff. Aggressive, threatening or disrespectful behaviour toward staff or others will not be tolerated.

• While in the hospital you may at any time ask any member of your in-hospital care team to arrange a meeting to discuss your needs when returning home.

• Staff will work with Community Support Services agencies (specialists in home help, including meals, homemaking, and transportation), to support you at home or while you wait at home for a long-term care home vacancy.
If you already received services at home before coming to hospital, your in-hospital care team will work with you, your family and/or caregivers to ensure you receive appropriate supports when you return home.
