“AHS needs to find a resolution as this can’t continue,” Gale Katchur wrote. “It’s a stressful enough time for expectant mothers, and having to be redirected to another birthing centre outside out community that they are unfamiliar with is unacceptable.”AHS noted that the Fort Saskatchewan’s hospital’s emergency department is still open and that people who need urgent and immediate medical care should still phone 911.
