The Fairview Health Complex Emergency Department is without an onsite doctor for most of the week due to the inability to secure coverage.
The ED closed at 7:00 a.m. October 15th, and will remain that way until 7:00 a.m. October 17th, before closing again from 7:00 a.m. October 18th to 7:00 a.m. October 19th.
AHS says nursing staff will remain on-site to provide triage, assessments, and referrals for patients to alternate emergency departments in surrounding communities.
Residents are asked to call 9-1-1 in case of emergency and EMS will remain available to the community with re-routing to surrounding healthcare centers. For non-emergencies residents are asked to call Health Link at 8-1-1, for 24/7 inquiries.
