The emergency department at the Baie Verte Peninsula Health Centre will be serviced by a virtual ER for several days this week due to human resource challenges.

There will be a virtual ER from Tuesday, March 26 at 8:00 a.m. until Wednesday at 8:00 a.m. and from Thursday, March 28 at 8:00 a.m. until Friday at 8:00 a.m.

When a Virtual ER is operating, residents can proceed to the ER as usual. There will be a health-care professional onsite, as well as a physician or nurse practitioner by video.
