Yet another reduction of hours is on tap during a weekend for a local emergency department.
The Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance says that the St. Marys Memorial Hospital will temporarily close the emergency department due to staffing issues. The ED will close in St. Marys on Saturday, July 15 at 5 p.m. It will re-open on Sunday, July 16 at 7 a.m., at which time full hours will resume.
Anyone requiring immediate medical attention should call 9-1-1. Paramedics will remain available to the community and will re-route to the nearest available emergency department.
The closest 24-hour Emergency Departments to the St. Marys Memorial Hospital are:
-Stratford – HPHA – Stratford General Hospital
