Beaverlodge Municipal Hospital’s emergency department will be without an on-site physician from 8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 27, until 8 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 28, due to staffing shortages.
Nursing staff will remain on-site to provide urgent triage and assessments, with a virtual emergency physician scheduled to support some or all of the shift.
Patients are advised to call 911 in a medical emergency, as EMS will direct them to nearby facilities as needed.
