Hospital Emergency Codes
MHA hospitals have several emergency codes in place to ensure a safe environment for all.
Emergency codes notify us about an emergency that requires immediate action. The MHA follows standardized color codes endorsed by the Ontario Hospital Association and requires all staff, physicians, and volunteers to be trained in responding to each code safely and effectively.
When a code is called, we encourage you to stay calm, listen to instructions from hospital staff, and, where possible, avoid the affected area of the hospital.
