Feb 7, 2022 | 9:44 PM

Alberta Health Services (AHS) says the Sacred Heart Community Health Centre emergency department (ED) will be without on-site physician coverage for 24 hours starting at 7 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 8.

Regular operations will return to the ED on Feb. 9 at 7 a.m.

AHS says in a statement it is working to ensure residents continue to have access to the care they need during this period.

Nursing staff will remain on-site in providing care for inpatients, with one local physician in the community. Patients are asked to call 911 if they have a medical emergency. EMS calls will be re-routed to High Prairie Health Complex, 50 km away.

Depending on their needs, patients seeking care at the ED in McLennan may also be made aware of services available through local pharmacies.
