“The Saskatchewan Health Authority’s priority is to ensure high-quality emergency services are available in communities across the province, and our teams make every effort to avoid disruptions wherever possible,” SHA chief operating officer Derek Miller said.
“When temporary disruptions do occur, we are committed to providing timely and accurate information for patients, families and communities to help ensure people can make informed decisions about where to seek care.”
