Important Emergency Department Update
ED North will remain open 24/7, and during evening hours ED South will be closed.
This will not impact patients or patient entry, but it is important for our staff members to know about this shift.
ED South will reopen around 11 a.m. each morning.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Cris Langellier, Director of Emergency Services, at [email protected].
