Update on services at Carbonear General Hospital due to wildfires

Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services advises the public of temporary updates to services at Carbonear General Hospital due to the ongoing wildfires.

Patient lists are being reviewed and some outpatient appointments will be rescheduled on Monday, August 11; outpatient appointments for the remainder of the week will be assessed next week and rescheduled if needed. If an individual’s appointment is affected they will be contacted directly to reschedule.

This service change is out of an abundance of caution due to forecasted weather and possible smoke in the area as a result of the wildfires.

NL Health Services would like to reassure the public that all urgent and emergent health-care services at the site are not affected at this time and the emergency department remains open.
