The Milk River emergency room will be closed for the rest of the week, starting on March 29 at noon.
Alberta Health Services says the closure is due to a lack of physician coverage and the department will reopen at 8 a.m. on April 3. Staff will remain on site to care for long-term care residents during the closure.
“AHS is working hard to ensure local residents continue to have access to the care they need during this time,” reads a news release from AHS.
Emergency calls will be rerouted to Lethbridge and Raymond.
