Acute care services in the Town of Herbert will be on a temporary hold over the next few days.

   Temporary service disruptions will be in place starting this evening at 5:00, until Saturday at 10:00 pm.

   Bryce Martin with the Cypress Health Region says the reason for the disruption is the unavailability of an on-call doctor at this time.

   In the event of an emergency situation, Martin reminds residents in the region to use either 911 or use the emergency department in Swift Current.

   Service will remain as usual in the long term care portion of the facility.
