In order to better deal with the current COVID-19 pandemic we will no longer be allowing any visitors at North York General Hospital, effective immediately.

Exceptions will only be made for critically ill or palliative patients or those in the maternity department.

Thank you for trusting us with your health care. Our staff, physicians and volunteers are dedicated to making your hospital stay as comfortable and welcoming as possible.

FIT: As of June 24, Ontario has started replacing the fecal occult blood test (FOBT) with the FIT as part of Cancer Care Ontario’s screening program for colorectal cancer. While both tests detect hidden blood in the stool, FIT is more accurate and easier to use.  

• A positive FIT requires a colonoscopy
• Patients who require a FIT positive colonoscopy will receive an appointment within two weeks
• Results to primary care providers are sent within 1 business day
