Resident physicians are a constant presence in Niagara Health hospitals — assessing patients, supporting care teams and learning their craft in real time, often under pressure. This week, their role comes into focus as Niagara Health marks Residents Week, running Feb. 9 to 13, 2026, recognizing the doctors in training who help deliver care across the region while preparing for independent practice.
Across our sites, we have 665 volunteers, and their impact shows up in ways that don’t always make the headlines but are felt every day by patients, families and our teams.
Niagara Health will not be renewing the operating licence for the long-term care home at the Welland Site. The licence expires in June 2026, which means the home will close once all residents have safely transitioned to new homes.
Recreational therapy services have not been eliminated across Niagara Health, and recreational therapists continue to work in our hospitals. Recreational therapists continue to play an important role within our mental health services as part of interprofessional care teams.
