Hospital Says Strike Has Little Impact Locally

Bluewater Health says the strike by Community Care Access Centre workers has had a relatively minimal impact on hospital operations so far.

CEO Sue Denomy says the CCAC's main role is to coordinate services for patients so they can be adequately cared for at home.

She says they're following a contingency plan.
