For the second straight Monday, the Emergency Department (ED) at the Sacred Heart Community Health Centre in McLennan is without an on-site physician.
The shortage will continue until 7 a.m. Tuesday morning when normal operations will resume.
Patients are still asked to call 911 if they have a medical emergency, with those EMS calls being re-routed to surrounding health care centres.
In a release, AHS says nursing staff will remain on-site to provide urgent triage and assessments, and referrals for patients to alternate ED’s in the surrounding area.
