DAYSLAND – The Daysland Health Centre Emergency Department (ED) will continue to be without overnight on-site physician coverage Monday to Thursday through November.
The ED will be closed from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Monday to Thursday due to a lack of physician coverage. Weekend coverage for the ED is in place.
The ED will continue to be open seven days a week, from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 24 hours a day Friday through Sunday.
Patients presenting to the ED during the hours of closure will be referred to emergency departments in surrounding communities or to the local medical clinic for follow-up with a family physician, as appropriate. EMS will divert patients to facilities in Camrose or Killam for emergency care, as needed.
Residents are reminded to call Health Link at 811, which is available 24/7, for non-emergency, health-related questions. Patients are asked to call 911 if they have a medical emergency.
AHS is grateful for the support of surrounding healthcare centres and medical staff, and would like to thank the community for its patience and understanding during this time.
AHS continues to work toward resuming regular operating hours.
