As of today (Nov 23), Campbellford Memorial Hospital will provide support to Trent Hills with a COVID-19 assessment centre.
Up to this point, support has been provided by the Northumberland County Paramedics and the Trent Hills Family Health Team.
The Trent Hills Family Health Team was instrumental in establishing the assessment centre and co-ordinating processes that included registering patients, sending specimens to the lab, providing follow up instructions and completing daily reporting to the Ministry of Health.
Two walk-in clinics located in Campbellford, the MacLaren’s Pharmacy and Trent Hills’ Pharmacy, have also assisted in communicating results to those who received COVID-19 swabs.
Update on Services:
There are no changes in location, contact number or hours of operation for the Trent Hills Covid-19 Assessment Centre:
Tests continue to be by appointment only
Appointments continue to be booked by calling (705) 395-1801
Hours of operation remain Monday-Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Northumberland County Paramedics continue to provide staffing support to assess and swab patients requiring a COVID-19 test
Results will be managed slightly differently. Only individuals with a positive test result will be contacted by phone by a member of our Infection Control Team. For all individuals we ask that you check your results online: covid-19.ontario.ca. A handout with this information will be provided to each person
For days the assessment centre is not available please continue to reach out to the HKPR District Health Unit at 1-866-888-4577, ext. 5020 or covid-19.ontario.ca/assessment-centre-locations
Amidst the transition, Campbellford Memorial Hospital would also like to take this opportunity to remind community members we are actively in wave 2 of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Provincially the number of new cases reported daily are up over 1,000 and these cases are appearing closer to home.
Outbreaks have been announced in the Peterborough and Cobourg areas.
You’re being urged to revisit your daily practices and ensure that you are taking all steps necessary to keep you, your loved ones and your community safe.
