Due to staffing shortages, the Wingham and District Hospital emergency room will be closed until 7 p.m. on Sunday, November 20.
Patients are asked to call 911 if they have a medical emergency. Ambulances will be re-routed to surrounding hospitals to provide emergency services.
"This is a temporary measure and our staff, board, physicians and leadership regret that we have to take this step," said Karl Ellis, the president and CEO of Listowel Wingham Hospitals Alliance. "We are thankful for the support of our staff and physicians and appreciate the community’s patience and understanding during this time."
