Short-Term Stay Programs
Short stay programs, including Behavioural Neurology, Geriatric Assessment and Treatment (GATU), Psychiatry and Rehabilitation, address short term health care concerns in an in-hospital setting with the goal of helping clients return to living in the community as independently as possible. A Palliative Care program, providing end of life care and support, is also available to appropriate clients.

All programs require a physician referral.
