Hymn Stories – February 2024

This month’s hymn is Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty penned by English minister, Reginald Heber, in the early 19th century. Heber was a gifted poet and hymnist who faithfully served his small congregation. After his death, his widow discovered he had written over 50 hymns. She succeeded in publishing his work and brought them to the forefront of the Christian community.

Respirator Fit Testing – Monday Jan 29 2024

What Is Fit Testing?

Fit testing is the method for finding the respirator that fits your face and making sure it provides a tight seal to help keep you protected from airborne diseases. Fit testing must be repeated at least annually. Fit testing must also be conducted whenever respirator design or facial changes occur that could affect the proper fit of the respirator.

Fit testing session on Monday Jan 29th 2024 with Bryan and Barb from 1:00-5:00 in the Learning Center.

Direct care staff (Nurses and HCAs): Please sign up on the sign up sheet present at the nursing station. Contact RCC and hospital RNs for further information. For all other departments feel free to show up on any given time slots without signing up.

Reach out to Loveleen at loveleen.sekhon@mennoplace.ca for any questions or concerns.
