The Mayor of #Merritt says he’s looking for more information from #InteriorHealth in the wake of yet another extended closure of his community’s #EmergencyRoom this past weekend.
The Merritt ER was closed starting Sunday night and they did not reopen until 8:00 Tuesday morning. (1/3)

For other #InteriorHealth communities such as #Merrit, #Lilooet, #Oliver and #Creston, temporary closures have become a common occurrence.

Since Jan. 1, there have been 62 temporary closures — which Interior Health calls temporary service interruptions — including 28 so far in July.

In #DawsonCreek, the local emergency room was closed over the weekend due to nursing coverage challenges and Chetwynd Hospital will be on diversion Monday evening. (3/4)

‘Can’t take it anymore’: #InteriorHealth #ERclosures prompt call for internal audit #RuralHealth https://globalnews.ca/news/10651506/bc-hospital-emergency-room-closures-audit/ “Every day, residents in several B.C. communities wait with bated breath for four o’clock.

It’s the dreaded time when they learn whether their local emergency department will be temporarily closed, sometimes for days. (1/4)
