Essential Care Partner Pilot Program
The Essential Care Partner (ECP) Pilot Program recognizes one or two individuals, chosen by the patient, as integral partners in their care. ECPs provide emotional, psychological, and/or physical support in collaboration with the patient’s care team.
The pilot is being implemented on 1A/1B, and (beginning November 3, 2025) will be available to all inpatients on the first floor, including Restorative Care, Inpatient Rehabilitation, Integrated Stroke, and Palliative Care.
NHH extends sincere thanks to our partners at the Ontario Health Team of Northumberland and the Ontario Caregiver Organization for supporting this pilot.
