There will be no emergency medical services available in Alert Bay, B.C., this long weekend. Health authorities on Vancouver Island say the Cormorant Island Community Health Centre (CIHC) will remain closed due to a staff shortage from 7 p.m. Thursday until 8 a.m. Tuesday.
There will be no emergency medical services available in Alert Bay, B.C., this long weekend.
Rolling closures of emergency rooms on the North Island have been routine since last summer, even as the provincial government announced in January that emergency services would be restored at the Cormorant Island Health Centre and the Port Hardy Hospital. Anyone experiencing a medical emergency while the Cormorant Island centre's emergency room is closed is asked to call 911.
"Do not go to the CICHC [emergency department] during the hours it is closed, as this will delay your access to care," Island Health said in a statement Thursday.
