Note: This morning (March 11) Hants Community Hospital will be conducting a Code Silver exercise in its emergency department. This is a planned drill to help our staff prepare for emergency scenarios—there is no real threat. Patients and visitors may see actors in neon yellow vests with toy weapons and hear overhead announcements. The exercise is strictly controlled, and all participants will be clearly identified. If you are present and have questions or feel anxious, please speak with a staff member. Thank you for your understanding as we work to keep our hospital safe.
