Emergency Department Services at the St. John Hospital in Vanderhoof will be interrupted tonight.
The interruption will last from 8:00 p.m. tonight (Thursday) until 8:00 a.m. tomorrow. (Friday)
According to Northern Health, this is due to an unavoidable gap in physician coverage.
In an emergency, people in the Vanderhoof area who need life-threatening emergency care should call 9-1-1 for transport to the nearest available and appropriate facility.
For non-urgent care needs, patients can also call the Northern Health Virtual Clinic (1-844-645-7811) to access a family doctor or nurse practitioner.
