Emergency services at the Shaunavon Hospital and Care Centre will be closed for three nights starting Saturday.

Bryce Martin, Executive Director of Communications for the Cypress Health Region, says the temporary disruption will be in effect from 7:00pm to 7:00am Saturday through Monday, adding that during those three night shifts, there will be no emergency outpatient services available, and there will not be any inpatient admissions during those 12-hour shifts. 

Those who need emergency care when the disruption is in effect are asked to call 9-1-1 for an ambulance, or if it's not urgent, call the provincial HealthLine at 1-877-800-0002.
 
Normal services are to resume Tuesday morning at 7:00am.
