The Fairview Health Complex Emergency Department will be temporarily closed numerous times throughout the first week of December.
Due to the inability to secure physician coverage, the ED will be closed from 7:00 a.m. November 29th to 7:00 a.m. November 30th, from 7:00 a.m. December 2nd to 7:00 a.m. December 3rd, and again from 7:00 a.m. December 5th to 7:00 a.m. December 6th.
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.
