BEAVERLODGE — The Beaverlodge Hospital emergency department (ED) will be temporarily closed from 3 p.m. Sunday, January 8 to 8 a.m., Monday, January 9 due to a gap in physician coverage.

Patients presenting to the site seeking ED services will be referred to emergency departments in surrounding communities as needed.
Patients requiring emergency medical care during this time are asked to call 911. EMS calls will be re-routed to surrounding facilities.
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.
