HSN Sites in Sudbury Impacted by Boil Water Advisory – May 6, 2026

A boil water advisory for parts of Sudbury and New Sudbury is impacting HSN sites in the Nickel City.

 

While all clinical services continue as per usual, patients, families and staff are reminded not to drink from taps or sinks at the hospital until further notice and to follow signage posted.

 

HSN has secured thousands of additional bottles of water to support patients in the hospital, however anyone coming to HSN is asked to please bring water to help conserve our supply.

 

Due to the advisory, Tim Horton’s is not brewing freshly brewed coffee. Bottled drinks are available.  

 

We appreciate everyone’s patience and kindness during this time and will provide additional updates as they are available.

Celebrating Physician Recruitment Efforts and Advancing Care in Northern Ontario

Celebrating Physician Recruitment Efforts and Advancing Care in Northern Ontario

This Doctors’ Day, Health Sciences North (HSN) proudly recognizes the dedication, compassion, and expertise of its medical staff.

Across every department and specialty, HSN physicians are delivering high-quality care to patients and families throughout Northeastern Ontario, often in the face of growing demand and limited access to primary care across the region. Their commitment ensures patients receive timely, specialized care close to home.

Within this group, HSN’s Hospitalist team plays a critical role in strengthening access to inpatient care. Each day, a team of eight Hospitalist physicians provides care to an average of 130 hospitalized patients, many of whom do not have access to a family physician in the community. Their work supports continuity of care, reduces gaps in service, and helps ensure patients are safely managed from admission through to discharge.

Thank you to our extraordinary volunteers!
