St. Marys Memorial Hospital closing ER overnight Thursday

The emergency department at the St. Marys Memorial Hospital will be closed overnight on Thursday.

The Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance said the ER closure is a result of "health human resource shortages."

The department will close at 5 p.m. and reopen Friday morning at 7 a.m.

Anyone requiring immediate medical attention should call 9-1-1 and they'll be rerouted to the nearest available hospital.

The closest 24-hour emergency departments to St. Marys are Stratford, Exeter, Ingersoll and London.
