Erie Shores HealthCare is excited to announce the expansion of services on Pelee Island, starting November 8th, 2023, and continuing throughout the winter. This development reinforces the hospital’s unwavering commitment to the health and well-being of Pelee Island’s unique and vibrant community.
The Windsor-Essex Mobile Medical Support team will be on Pelee Island one day per week, commencing November 8th, 2023, and continuing through December 12th, 2023. They will offer a wide range of medical services, including COVID-19 and flu vaccinations, cancer screenings, and health assessments.
Starting November 13th, Pelee Island Nursing Station will be staffed by a dedicated nurse who is a resident of Pelee Island three days a week. This increased local presence ensures that residents and visitors have access to quality healthcare services right on the island.
This interim plan is a proactive first step while work continues in partnership with Ontario Health and the Ministry of Health, with more to come on a comprehensive care model for Pelee Island in the spring.
