(Source: Charlotte Eleanor Englehart Hospital/Facebook)
A lab in Lambton County that was impacted by the cyberattack against a group of local hospitals will reopen.
Located in Petrolia at Charlotte Eleanor Englehart Hospital (CEEH), the lab will reopen to outpatient and walk-in appointments on Monday, April 22.
The Petrolia lab has been temporarily closed for non-urgent and walk-in appointments as the hospital worked through post-cyberattack digital systems recovery.
Patients should expect longer-than-usual wait times as CEEH Laboratory staff work with some remaining downtime processes and expected increased volumes.
Petrolia’s outpatient lab services are accessed via a primary care provider requisition.
