Niagara Health President Lynn Guerriero is extending sincere condolences to the patient’s family and says we mourn this loss as a community.

She says Niagara Health has a comprehensive plan to support the safety, health and well-being of its patients and will work with government and health care partners to ensure the hospital remains as safe as possible during this pandemic.
