Two more closures for emergency department in Beaverlodge coming this week

Sep 11, 2023 | 6:24 PM

Alberta Health Services says two more closures are planned for this week for the emergency department at the Beaverlodge Municipal Hospital.

AHS says in a release that an inability to find physician coverage means there will be closures on Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and from 6 p.m. Friday until 8 a.m. Saturday.

Patients with an emergency during those times can still call 911 and be re-directed to the Grande Prairie Regional Hospital.

Nurses will be on site for triage, assessments and referrals.
