Due to an unanticipated gap in physician coverage, the Rocky Mountain House Health Centre Emergency Department (ED) will experience temporary closures this weekend, including:
- Closed Friday, June 14 from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m., and
- Closed Saturday, June 15 from 6 p.m. until 7 a.m. on Sunday, June 16.
Officials with Alberta Health Services (AHS) say efforts to secure alternate coverage continue, though have been unsuccessful at this time. In the event either closure is avoided or reduced, the community will be updated.
During the temporary closures, AHS says nursing staff will remain in the ED to assess any patients who present to the site. They will provide first aid where needed and refer patients to alternate care facilities in surrounding communities, including the Myron Thompson Health Centre in Sundre, Rimbey Hospital and Care Centre and Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, as needed.
