Sylvan Lake Advanced Ambulatory Care Service temporarily closed on Monday

Alberta Health Services (AHS) announced the Sylvan Lake Advanced Ambulatory Care Service (SLAACS) will be closed on Monday, Aug. 25 from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

AHS says the temporary closure is because of a gap in physician coverage and added the service will operate as normal from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Full hours will resume on Tuesday. However, if coverage is secured, service will be restored and the community will be notified.

“Alberta Health Services 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 wrote in the release.
