Emergency services to close on Bell Island

From 8:00 am Wednesday to 8:00 am Thursday there will be no emergency services at the Dr. Walter Templeman Health Care Centre on Bell Island due to human resource challenges.

Patients with a medical emergency should call 911 for transportation to a hospital in St. John's while those who feel they have a serious or urgent medical problem should proceed to an emergency department in St. John’s.

All other services will continue as usual while emergency services are closed.

This closure is the latest in a series of emergency room closures across the province.
