Health PEI statement on coroner’s inquest

The Chief Coroner announced earlier today that an inquest will be conducted into the death of a resident of Wedgewood Manor. Health PEI will participate fully in this process.

Our staff and physicians are committed to providing safe, high-quality health care. We anticipate that this inquest will support us in this commitment.

As this matter is now the subject of a legal proceeding, no further information can be shared.

The above information can be attributed to Cecil Villard, Health PEI executive director of Home-Based and Long-Term Care.
