Hospital falls short in Workwell Audit

Lake of the Woods District Hospital has received a passing grade in its latest Workwell Audit.

The audit is carried out of the WSIB and looks to make sure all institutions are in compliance with current health and safety regulations.

Manager of Patient Care Leslie Brown says they had been hoping to score 75 percent on the audit, which is considered a pass.

Instead, they were given a mark of 56.4 percent.

She adds they now have six months to bring their Workwell grade up.
