Respirator Fit Testing: March 19 & 20, 2026
All staff who could come in close contact with a resident on precautions should be fit tested for a respirator. This will mainly be direct care staff but can also include maintenance, dietary and housekeeping staff. It’s best if everyone who works on the units gets tested in case a situation arises where respirators are needed.
There are two fit testing sessions scheduled. Please note that the two sessions are taking place in two different locations.
The first session is taking place Thursday March 19, 2026, in the Hospital Chapel at the following times:
- 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
- 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
The second session will be Friday March 20, 2026, in the Menno Home Chapel at the following times:
- 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
- 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Walk-ins are welcome on both days, depending on the traffic, but please note that you may have to wait if there are too many people.
Important:
- The Fit Test takes approximately 20–25 minutes, so please allow enough time for your session. The test cannot be rushed.
- Do not eat or drink anything for 15 minutes prior to your Fit Test.
- We can accommodate up to six staff members in each half hour time slot.
