St. Joseph's Hospital Temporarily Pauses Visits as a Precaution

Date: 2026-10-17

St. Joseph's Care Group is working collaboratively with Thunder Bay Fire Rescue to address an issue with the sprinkler system at St. Joseph's Hospital.

Everyone is safe. As a precaution, some clients have been temporarily relocated within the hospital while staff and emergency responders work together to address the issue.

During this time, visits are temporarily paused until further notice. Families and visitors are asked to postpone visits until an update is shared confirming that visits can resume.

Staff continue to provide care and support to clients throughout the response. St. Joseph's Care Group appreciates the cooperation of clients, families and the community and will share updates as the situation progresses.
