The Fairview Health Complex Emergency Department will be without an onsite physician several times at the beginning of August.
From 7:00 a.m. July 29th to 7:00 a.m. August 1st and again from 7:00 a.m. August 3rd to 7:00 a.m. August 7th, the ED will not have a doctor available for residents due to the inability to secure 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 as 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.
