OTTAWA – January 28, 2022 – Given the anticipated disruptions in traffic across Ottawa this weekend, CHEO and other Ottawa hospitals want to simply re-affirm that we are open for those who need our services and expertise, like always. We hope that people who need medical attention do not delay it.
In addition, all scheduled programming, clinics and appointments will continue as planned.
