There will be a temporary disruption to emergency services at Dr. Walter Templeman Health Care Centre on Bell Island tonight.

Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services says that due to human resource challenges the emergency department will be closed from 8:00 p.m. today to 8:00 a.m. Wednesday.

Patients with a medical emergency who require an ambulance should call 911. Those who feel they have a serious or urgent medical problem should proceed to their nearest emergency department.
