Headwaters offers patient e-mail services

Support from family and friends plays an important role in patient recovery. Headwaters Health Care Centre now offers a service to allow friends and family to email a patient staying at either Headwaters Orangeville or Headwaters Shelburne.

Personalized messages from family and friends will be delivered directly to the patient's bedside.

"At Headwaters we recognize that patient-centred care begins with positive support from family and friends," said Bob Baynham, Headwaters president & CEO. "We are pleased to offer our community Patient Email, a free service, which allows family and friends to stay in touch with a patient during a hospital stay."

To send an email greeting, simply click on the Patient Email icon at www.headwatershealth.ca, fill out the form and submit. Your message will be sent to the auxiliary office at the Orangeville site. E-mails will be delivered during business hours of 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday. Messages received outside of these hours will be delivered the next business day.
