The work, which began on Tuesday and is expected to take about four weeks, is part of required maintenance for the building.
Staff, physicians and the public will be able to access the hospital and parking lot while this work is underway. At times, there may be scaffolding present but it will not impact the ability to use sidewalks or to enter the building.
People are reminded to use caution if they are near areas outside the hospital where work is being done. They are also reminded to adhere to COVID-19 measures including visitor restrictions, social distancing, wearing a non-medical mask and good hand hygiene
