Beaverlodge Municipal Hospital ED closes for seven hours

The Beaverlodge Municipal Hospital Emergency Department will be without an onsite physician for seven hours due to the inability to secure coverage.

The ED will be closed between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. on October 24th.

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.
