Thunder Bay ON - Effective Wednesday, March 11, 2020, St. Joseph's Care Group has implemented mandatory novel coronavirus (COVID-19) screening at Hogarth Riverview Manor and Bethammi Nursing Home.

"Although there are currently no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Thunder Bay, it is incumbent upon St. Joseph's Care Group to protect clients and staff alike. We are proactively implementing screening across all sites, and ask for your patience and cooperation as there may be minor delays in accessing our buildings," said Tracy Buckler, President & CEO of St. Joseph's Care Group.
