At a special council meeting on July 9 at city hall, Williams Lake city council voted unanimously to call for an operational review of the Cariboo Memorial Hospital.
Just after learning of the fifth overnight closure within a week of the emergency room (ER), council discussed the lack of health care coverage in the community.
The hope is an operational review of the hospital could help create a more positive culture of recruitment and retention.
Mayor Surinderpal Rathor said he's not wanting to lay blame, but he instead wants to get to the root of any potential problems within the hospital and how it is being run.
