The Fairview Health Complex Emergency Department will be closed for much of the rest of June due to the inability to secure physician 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.
