NL 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 from Friday, March 1 at 8:00 a.m. to Saturday, March 2 at 8:00 a.m.

When a virtual ER is operating, residents can proceed to the ER at Bonavista Peninsula Health Centre as usual where they will be assessed and transferred to another hospital, if necessary.

Patients should access the ER via the new entrance at the rear of the hospital. Parking is available in the new lot behind the hospital; signage is also in place to direct patients.
