AHS has announced the Fairview Health Complex Emergency Department will not have a physician on-site until 7:00 a.m. on February 27th.
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 and will be re-routed to surrounding healthcare centers. For non-emergencies residents are asked to call Health Link at 8-1-1, for 24/7 inquiries.
AHS adds that if coverage is found, the disruption could be cancelled.
