TOFIELD – The Tofield Health Centre Emergency Department (ED), which has been operating under reduced hours due to staff shortages, will return to regular 24 hour service as of Monday, September 4.
This welcome news is due to the hiring and orientation of staff, including eight new registered nurses (RNs) and two licensed practical nurses (LPNs).
We appreciate the patience and support of the community and staff as we recruited and trained these valuable new staff members.
