The Emergency Department at the Strait Richmond Hospital in Evanston will be closed today because there’s no doctor available to cover. The Nova Scotia Health Authority says the E-R will be shut down from 7 this morning until 8 a.m. Thursday.
For non-urgent care, call your family doctor or visit a walk-in clinic if there is one in your area.
For general health advice and information call 811, which is a service offered 24 hours a day, seven days a week by experienced registered nurses.
The provincial Mental Health Crisis Line can also be reached 24/7 by calling 1-888-429-8167.
