Alberta Health Services (AHS) says the Sacred Heart Community Health Centre emergency department (ED) in McLennan will be without on-site physician coverage for 24 hours starting at 7:00 a.m. on January 27.

Nursing staff will remain on-site for the time being caring for inpatients. Patients are still asked to call 911 if they are experiencing a medical emergency. EMS calls will be re-routed to the High Prairie Health Complex.

Residents are also reminded to call 811 for non-emergency health issues.

The ED will be back up and running at 7:00 a.m. on January 28.
