The Milk River Health Centre emergency room will be closed for the next week because of a lack of physician coverage. Alberta Health Services says it will close at 8 a.m. on July 14 and will open again at 5 p.m. on July 21.
“During the temporary closure, nursing staff will remain on site to provide care for long-term care residents,” reads a news release from AHS. “AHS is working hard to ensure local residents continue to have access to the care they need during this time.”
During the closure, emergency calls will be rerouted to Lethbridge and Raymond. AHS reminds residents they can call Health Link at 811 for non-emergency medical questions.
