Due to a lack of physician coverage, the Milk River Health Centre Emergency Department will be temporarily closed overnight Tuesday.

According to Alberta Health Services, service interruption started at 4 p.m. Tuesday and the department will re-open at 8 a.m. Wednesday.

According to the provincial health authority, nursing staff will remain on-site for long-term care residents during the closure.

Emergency calls will be rerouted to Chinook Regional Hospital in Lethbridge and the Raymond Health Centre. Residents needing to access an emergency department are advised to use these two facilities or call Health Link at 811 for non-emergency health-related questions.

Born and raised in Calgary, Kass, from a young age, developed a love for learning people's stories and being able to share them with the community (or her family, or whoever would listen). In addition to working in communities like Okotoks and Calgary, Kass has also spent her summers travelling with the World Professional Chuckwagon Association since 2019, to help provide a peek behind the barn door into the world of chuckwagon racing. Outside of work and anything horse related, Kass is a reader and an avid country music fan, and most likely can be found with the biggest cup of coffee possible.
