The Fairview Health Complex Emergency Department will be temporarily without on-site physician coverage for 24 hours this week.
From 7:00 a.m. June 10th to 7:00 a.m. June 11th, the ED will be without an on-site physician due to the inability to secure coverage.
AHS says nursing staff will remain on-site to provide triage, assessments, and referrals for patients to alternative emergency departments as needed.
Patients and residents can still access 9-1-1 during a medical emergency and EMS will remain available to the community.
Residents are also reminded to call Health Link at 8-1-1 for 24/7 non-emergency health-related questions. Additionally, patients seeking care at the ED are encouraged to access services that may be available through local pharmacies.
