The Bonnyville Health Centre’s emergency department will be temporary closed overnight on Thursday as a result of an emergency physician shortage.
The temporary closure of the emergency department will start at 5 p.m. on Thursday, April 13 and will end the next morning at 7 a.m. on April 14.
Patients are asked to call 911 if they have a medical emergency. EMS calls will be rerouted to the nearest health care facility with Emergency Services.
The nearest emergency departments are located in Cold Lake, 51km away (314-25 Street) and St. Paul Healthcare Centre, 67km away (4713-48 Avenue).
Other service areas will remain open at the Bonnyville hospital during the emergency department closure.
The emergency department at the Bonnyville Health Centre was also closed earlier this week due to a physician shortage. The department was closed Monday evening and reopened on Tuesday morning.
