Beaverlodge Municipal Hospital ED without physician coverage on Sunday

Aug 13, 2023 | 1:09 PM

Alberta Health Services says there will be no physician on-ste at the Emergency Department at the Beaverlodge Municipal Hospital for the rest of Sunday.

AHS says the ED will not have a doctor until 8 a.m. Monday because coverage could not be found.

AHS had announced last week that the hospital would be with Emergency Department physician from 8 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday until 8 a.m. the next morning.

Nurses will be on-site to provide assessments and triage.

Patients are still asked to call 911 if they have an emergency as calls are being rerouted to the Grande Prairie Regional Hospital.
