Emergency Department services at Wrinch Memorial Hospital in Hazelton will be interrupted this weekend.
The interruption began this morning (Friday) at 7:00 and will last until 7:00 Monday morning.
According to Northern Health, this is due to a shortage in nursing staff.
Anyone in the Hazelton area is asked to call 9-1-1 in the event of a life-threatening emergency for transport to the nearest available and appropriate facility.
Those with non-urgent care needs are asked to call the Northern Health Virtual Clinic (1-844-645-7811) to access a family doctor or nurse practitioner.
