Thank you St Patrick's Elementary School's grade 4/5 immersion class who sent us these awesome thank you notes! Everyone at CHEO — our nurses, clerks, food service staff, doctors, environmental services staff and more were so inspired by your words!

We're still the same superheroes...we're just wearing different uniforms! We're still your favourite CHEO doctors, nurses and staff, we just look a bit different right now from what you're used to seeing.

You might see a lot of us wearing gloves, a gown (that’s a long shirt) and a mask to keep everyone safe and protected from germs. Learn more:

Reunited and it feels so good! Staff across CHEO have been redeployed to areas where they are needed most. Dominique and Andrea have both been redeployed to be screeners at our entrances, when they recognized eachother - Dominique was Andrea’s physiotherapist when she was a child!

The photo of the two of them that Dominique is holding has been in her office all this time.

Rest assured that all kids, caregivers, staff and medical staff are being screened before entering the building by our friendly screeners! Everyone’s safety is always our top priority. A big thank you to our screening team who are taking on this important role.

If you're a child, youth, caregiver, staff or medical staff coming to CHEO, please follow the physical distancing markers while you wait to be screened. Once in the building, keep two meters apart and wash or sanitize your hands often.

Kudos to everyone working hard at the Brewer Arena assessment centre to keep kids, families and our community safe. Run in collaboration with The Ottawa Hospital, the Assessment Centre provides COVID-19 assessment and testing for children and adults.

Our CHEO team is fully gowned up in protective gear and ready to put #safetyfirst by screening kids and youth for COVID-19. 

Our team is working hard, but it's all smiles behind those masks! Dr. Jason Brophy, Debbie Turner & Abby Browne...
