The safety of clients and staff is the highest priority of the Northern Health Region. This has led NHR leadership to implement enhanced security measures at Thompson General Hospital (TGH).

Effective December 1 at 7:00 PM, the Thompson General Hospital will begin overnight monitored access, from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM. The only public access to the facility will be through the main Emergency Department (ED) doors. The purpose of these security changes at TGH is to ensure the well-being of clients, their caregivers, and the staff.

The following changes have been implemented for this overnight monitored access:
1. Stairwell doors will be securely closed, with staff access only
2. Elevators will be securely closed, with staff access only
3. Management and 24/7 security officers will monitor these areas and ensure compliance

Please note: Thompson General Hospital is not identified by the City of Thompson as a cold-weather shelter. The TGH facility is not set up or equipped for this purpose.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we enhance security with the delivery of essential healthcare services. We will continue to provide updates and remain committed to keeping you informed.
