Patient safety and care remain our top priorities and we are working hard to ensure the community has care available. No additional services at Valleyview Healthcare Centre are re-opening at this time. Inpatient admissions continue to be paused. EMS remains available to the community and will transport patients to nearby facilities as needed.
The Valleyview Healthcare Centre, including long-term care, was temporarily evacuated and closed due to threat of local wildfires on May 15. AHS has been reaching out to families and loved ones of the evacuated inpatients and residents with information. If you have not been contacted, please reach out to HealthLink at 8-1-1 (patients) or Continuing Care Access at 1-855-371-4122 (residents).
We are extremely grateful for our frontline teams, staff and physicians who have come together to support the response across AHS.
