Central Peace Health Complex emergency department closed until 7 p.m. Saturday night

Alberta Health Services says the emergency department at the Central Peace Health Complex in Spirit River is closed until 7 p.m. tonight (Saturday, May 3).

AHS says that this is because of a shortage of clinical staff and not being able to find other staff to cover shifts.

People with a medical emergency can still call 911.

AHS also reminds people that Health Link is available 24/7 at 811 for non-emergencies.
