Important information on COVID-19 / Renseignements importants sur la COVID-19!

We are asking all patients and visitors coming to HSN to please wear a mask as an added step to reduce the spread of germs and protect vulnerable patients. Handmade masks are NOT acceptable. When you arrive at the hospital as a patient or care partner a hospital approved mask will be provided to you and you will be expected to wear it during your time at HSN to keep yourself, other patients and care partners and our staff, physicians, learners and volunteers safe.

Patients going for a procedure where they must remove the mask will be asked to keep it ready to be put back on once the procedure is completed.

Before coming to the hospital, please check our COVID-19 info page for updates.

Transportation Assistance:

If you live in Northern Ontario in the Districts of Algoma, Nipissing, Cochrane, Kenora, Manitoulin, Parry Sound, Rainy River, Sudbury, Timmins or Thunder Bay and have traveled more than 100 kilometres (60 miles) one-way to see one of our specialists at the Northeast Cancer Centre of Health Sciences North, you are eligible for a travel grant through the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.

A travel grant does not cover all of your travel expenses, but will help defray the overall cost of the trip.

A northern physician or surgeon will need to initiate the travel grant before the travel takes place. Please bring that travel grant with you in order to have it signed by the specialist that you have been referred to.

If you require more information, please access the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care website at: www.health.gov.on.ca and refer to the Application for Northern Health Travel Grant (form 0327-88) or call 1-800-262-6524 (for service in English and French).
