The 100 Mile District General Hospital's Emergency Room will be closed all day on Thursday, April 10.
Interior Health put out a release late last night advising the community that the ER will be unavailable from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on April 10. Patients are advised to access emergency room care at the Cariboo Memorial Hospital in Williams Lake. All other inpatient services will continue at the hospital during this time.
Anyone in need of life-threatening emergency care such as chest pains, difficulty breathing or severe bleeding is advised to call 911 for transport to the nearest available and appropriate facility. If you are unsure if your symptoms require a visit to the ER, you can call HealthLink BC at 8-1-1, or visit www.HealthLinkBC.ca for non-emergency health information from nurses, dietitians and pharmacists 24 hours a day, seven days per week.
