Due to an unexpected gap in physician coverage, the Stettler Hospital and Care Centre Emergency Department (ED) will be temporarily closed on Thursday, June 20, from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m..
Officials with Alberta Health Services (AHS) say the ED will reopen and resume normal operations at 5 p.m..
During this temporary closure, AHS says nursing staff will remain on-site in the ED to provide triage and assessments to patients who present to the department. Patients will be referred to alternative care options depending on their condition.
AHS says EMS will transport patients requiring emergency care to nearby facilities, including Lacombe Hospital and Care Centre, Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre or Drumheller Health Centre.
