    At St. Joseph’s, masks must be worn by everyone in our hospital to keep everyone safe. This policy follows guidelines set out by Ontario’s Ministry of Health. If you continue to have concerns about your health, we encourage you to seek care from our ED or a clinic close to home.

    Melissa Vitug, a Resident Assistant at the Houses of Providence, was the first frontline health care worker to receive the vaccine at St. Michael’s today. She described the day as one of mixed emotions: nervousness, positivity and hopefulness. Megan Buchholz, Registered Nurse, administered the first vaccine of the day.

    St. Michael’s Hospital currently has seven women residents who specialize in neurosurgery. Usually St. Michael’s only sees one woman resident training in the male-dominated field. Five of the residents share their journeys with CBC News.
