We continue to recruit doctors to the region to keep emergency departments open. However, services in some emergency departments may be temporarily unavailable if a physician is not available on site. |
Please note:
We make every effort to ensure the reliability of posted emergency department schedules. Unfortunately, unforeseen circumstances may arise, such as a physician's need to accompany a patient on ambulance transport or physician illness, that will result in services being unavailable that won't be reflected in this schedule. We apologize in advance for these changes that may occur.
Always call 911 for emergency care. Click here for phone numbers for communities not serviced by 911.
