The Fairview Health Complex ED will be temporarily closed due to a lack of coverage several times until the end of the month.
According to AHS, the ED will be without onsite physician coverage from 7:00 a.m. on September 20th to 7:00 a.m. September 21st, again from 7:00 a.m. September 23rd to 7:00 a.m. September 24th, and once more from 7:00 a.m. September 25th to 7:00 a.m. to September 28th.
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.
