ER and acute care suspended in Carberry
As of Monday June 30 at 8am, all emergency room and acute care services will be suspended at the Carberry Health Centre. Service is expected to resume September 2.
The Assiniboine RHA says that the temporary loss of service is as "a result of human resource challenges".
The loss of ER service will mean that patients arriving at the Carberry Health Centre will have to be sent elsewhere. As ambulance service isn't insured, this cost will have to be covered by the patient.
Check next week's Banner for more details.
