The Fairview Health Complex Emergency Department will be closed numerous times this week due to the inability to secure physician coverage.
From 7:00 a.m. August 12th to 7:00 a.m. August 14th, and again from 7:00 a.m. August 15th to 7:00 a.m. August 19th, the ED will be temporarily without on-site physician 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.
