Dawson Creek Hospital temporarily interrupting ER services Monday

The Dawson Creek Hospital.

Northern health is advising residents of the Dawson Creek area that the emergency department at the Dawson Creek and District Hospital is interrupting services between 5 am and 3 pm Monday.

Northern Health made the announcement on social media, and said the interruption is once again due to staffing challenges.

In a prior post, the health authority said the interruption would start at 8 am, but it was later changed to begin at 5 am.

Norther health said residents needing emergency care should call 911 to be transported to the nearest available facility during that time.
