Another ER closure to affect a Midwestern Ontario hospital

A local emergency department will be closed for the weekend.

South Bruce Grey Health Centre has confirmed that the emergency department in Chesley will close on Friday, March 22 and not reopen until 7 a.m. on Monday, March 25.

The closure is due to a staffing shortage.

Ambulance by-pass has been undertaken to divert patients to the nearest open ED.

Anyone requiring immediate medical attention should call 911 to be taken to the nearest Emergency Department. For non-urgent health care needs, Health Connect Ontario is available 24/7 for non-emergency health-related questions by calling 811.
