We're dedicated to providing you with the ambulatory and outpatient services you need, when you need them. The following services are available to you.
Acute Hand Program
The Trillium Health Partners - Acute Hand Program is a center of excellence that supports patients in our community with hand injuries. Our department is at the Queensway Health Centre, but we also see patients at the Credit Valley Hospital and the Queensway Health Centre Surgical Clinics.
For more information, see Acute Hand Program page.
Neurodiagnostic Services
Neurodiagnostic Services provides a full range of neurodiagnostic tests that aid in diagnosing disease processes affecting the nervous system. Queensway Health Centre, services include outpatient, adult and paediatric EEG. At Mississauga Hospital, services include adult and paediatric EEG, Evoked Potentials and Intra-operative monitoring.
Rehabilitation
Mississauga Hospital's Rehabilitation Day Hospital provides active, intensive, interdisciplinary assessment, consultation and treatment for adult patients who have complex rehabilitation needs. The Day Hospital's focus is on stroke, brain injury (traumatic and aneurysm), muskuloskeletal, and general complex rehabilitation patients.
The team is comprised of nursing, social work, therapeutic recreation, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech-language pathology. The team assesses patients for admission into the program once goals for rehabilitation have been identified and discussion with the patient and family has taken place. The overall goals of the program are to facilitate a full transition to the community and to optimize function. While attending the Day Hospital, patients live in the community and travel to the hospital for an intensive program two times a week.
Neurology
The Outpatient Neurology program is the counterpart to the Day Hospital. Patients with neurological problems who need rehabilitation are cared for by a team of physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and social workers. Communication, dysphagia assessment and management, aphasia group, and voice therapy services are offered.
Physiotherapy
Specialized services are provided for acute orthopaedic conditions including fractures, soft tissue injuries, joint replacements, and other surgical procedures. Individualized treatment programs for patients are enhanced with a range of group programs supported by physiotherapy assistants. These include Back Education, Knee Class and Pool Program. The physiotherapists are also active members of the Fracture Clinic team.
Other programs provided by ambulatory rehabilitation services include the Prevocational Program, the Respiratory Rehabilitation Program, the Arthritis Society Partnership Program, and the UVL Program.
Vestibular Lab
Mississauga Hospital's Vestibular Lab provides testing to patients with problems of the vestibular system such as imbalance and dizziness.
Stroke Treatment/Prevention
Stroke is a medical emergency. Chances of surviving a stroke and achieving full recovery are significantly higher if medical help is sought right away. As a regional stroke centre, Mississauga Hospital's Emergency Centre has staff skilled in identifying and treating stroke patients. If a patient arrives at Mississauga Hospital's Urgent Care Centre showing signs of a stroke or stroke-like symptoms, s/he is transferred immediately to Mississauga Hospital's Emergency Centre.
Stroke patients needing admission to hospital are cared for in the Comprehensive Stroke Unit at Mississauga Hospital.
