The Beaverlodge Municipal Hospital Emergency Department has been temporarily closed due to a lack of physician coverage.
As a result, the ED will be closed from 8:00 a.m. April 17th to 8:00 a.m. April 18th.
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.
