As part of the investment in Ashern’s hospital, there will be short intermittent power outages at the hospital, clinic and personal care home to upgrade the electrical system from Oct. 3 evening to Oct. 5 evening.

The new inpatient unit is not impacted, and normal community services are generally unaffected. A generator is being utilized to ensure direct non-emergency care, including personal care home, dialysis and kitchen/laundry services remain available.

Emergency Department – Change in Service Oct. 3-6

Individuals experiencing a medical emergency should call 911 or attend emergency departments in Eriksdale or Selkirk during installation of these upgrades.
