Dear staff,
As you may be aware, Canada Post workers have initiated a national strike. This labor action could potentially disrupt the delivery of mail, including testing results/reports, referrals and patient correspondence.
Health PEI has activated our All Hazards Plan to a Level 1 of Targeted Monitoring. This means we are closely monitoring the situation and its potential impact on our operations.
Potential impacts include the delayed delivery of mail and disrupted communication with patients.
Service areas are being advised to work with their supervisors on alternate ways to communicate with patients and partners during the strike.
Leadership teams are working with all areas to determine any additional impacts and to maintain our services. Directions will be provided by your direct supervisors.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Updates will be provided regularly.
Mel
