The Saskatchewan Health Authority says there will be a temporary disruption to emergency services at the Preeceville and District Health Centre, effective this Friday until further notice.
During that time, emergency services will not be available, and in the event of an emergency, people are asked to call 9-1-1, or visit the emergency department in Canora, Kelvington or Kamsack.
Kamsack ER is currently in a service disruption of its own, but only until 8 a.m. tomorrow (Thurs)
The SHA notes primary care, lab, x-ray, and long term care services in Preeceville are not affected.
The reason given for the temporary disruption was a realignment of health services to support patient care, as a result of increased COVID-19 activity in the Yorkton area, and the resulting increase in ICU capacity, as well as illness among patients.
More information can be found on the SHA website.
