Alberta Health Services (AHS) says the Sacred Heart Community Health Centre emergency department (ED) will be without on-site physician coverage for 96 hours starting on Friday at 7 a.m.

Normal operations are expected to return on Tuesday, January 4 at 7:00 a.m.

During the period where physicians will not be on-site, nurses will be available at the ED providing care for inpatients, with one local physician in the community.

All EMS calls during this time will be re-routed to the High Prairie Health Complex, 50 kilometres away.
