DAYSLAND – The Daysland Health Centre Emergency Department (ED) will temporarily be without on-site physician coverage, from 8 a.m. Monday, October 25 until 8 a.m. Tuesday, October 26.

AHS is working to ensure local residents continue to have access to the care they need during that time. ED services during these times can be accessed at St. Mary’s Hospital in Camrose (42 km away), or the Killam Health Care Centre (31 km away).

Patients requiring emergency medical care during this time are asked to call 911.

 Ambulance transfers will be re-routed to surrounding facilities, including Camrose and Killam.

Inpatient and DOAR beds are not impacted by this temporary closure.

Residents are reminded to call Health Link at 811, which is available 24/7 for non-emergency, health-related questions.

AHS is grateful for the support of surrounding healthcare centres and medical staff, and would like to thank the community for its patience and understanding during this time.
