The Valleyview Health Centre Emergency Department will be temporarily without physician coverage this evening.
According to AHS, from 4:30 p.m. January 13th, to 7:00 a.m. January 14th, the ED will be without an on-site doctor due to a lack of coverage.
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.
