The Accident and Emergency Department at the Cornwall Regional Hospital in St. James was officially reopened today, after 10 years of major repair work.
Health and Wellness Minister Dr. Christopher Tufton expressed satisfaction in the reopening of the department, following delays in the rehabilitation process due to various challenges, including the COVID pandemic and two recent hurricanes.
Dr. Tufton said the journey has been challenging, noting that he took three lessons from the process.
