Water was gushing out of drains and pooling in inpatient areas
Operations at the Windsor Regional Hospital's Met Campus returned to normal Tuesday night after "significant flooding" that saw water gushing out of drains and into inpatient areas.
Hospital CEO David Musyj said the emergency room at the hospital near the corner of Tecumseh Road East and Kildare Road was open again as of 10:30 p.m. and added diagnostic imaging, including MRI and CT Scans will resume Wednesday morning.
"I am in awe of the response of everyone at both campuses to this event," he wrote in press release, describing the effort from staff as "truly amazing team work."
