A temporary staffing shortage at the Connaigre Peninsula Health Centre will result in a closure of the emergency department today, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.

The emergency department reopens Wednesday at 8:00 p.m.
When a Virtual ER is operating, there will be a health-care professional onsite and a physician or nurse practitioner by video.
Residents requiring emergency services are advised to call 911 or proceed to the nearest emergency room.
If you are unsure whether you or a loved one should go to an emergency department, you can call the NL HealthLine at 811.
