Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services is advising the public of temporary changes to services at the Bonavista Peninsula Health Centre due to human resource challenges.

On-site emergency services will be supported through a Virtual ER physician only from: Thursday April 11, at 8:00 a.m. to Friday April 12, at 8:00 a.m.

Patients can still proceed to the ER as usual, where they will be assessed and transferred to another hospital if necessary. The emergency department will be staffed by a nurse practitioner and a respiratory therapist, and supported by a physician who will be available virtually.
