Temporary change to Emergency Department hours at Hardisty Health Centre
Due to a lack of physician coverage, the Emergency Department (ED) at the Hardisty Health Centre will be temporarily reducing its hours of operation next month.
From Feb. 1 to June 30 the ED will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Wednesday; 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Thursdays; and 24-hours on weekends, beginning at 5 p.m. on Fridays.
Patients arriving at the ED during closed hours will be redirected to other care options as appropriate.
Those not requiring emergency care will be directed to contact a physician’s clinic to book an appointment.
During this time, the acute care beds at the site will also be temporarily closed.
Any patients requiring admission will be accommodated at other nearby facilities.
The beds will be utilized to support other services, including Respite care, which do not require immediate access to a physician.
