The Sacred Heart Community Health Centre in McLennan will have a couple of periods this week without on-site physician coverage in the Emergency Coverage.
First they’ll be without coverage today until 7 AM tomorrow, and then again from 7 AM on the 24th to 7 AM on the 27th.
AHS is working to ensure residents continue to have access to the care they need during these two periods.
Nursing staff will remain on-site in providing care for inpatients, with one local physician in the community.
Patients are asked to call 911 if they have a medical emergency. EMS calls will be re-routed to High Prairie Health Complex, 50 km away.
Depending on their needs, patients seeking care at the ED in McLennan may also be made aware of services available through local pharmacies.
Residents are reminded to call Health Link at 811, which is available 24/7 for non-emergency, health-related questions.
