Clinton ER to close over the weekend

The Emergency Department at the Clinton Public Hospital is closing this weekend.

A release from the Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance says it’s closing from Saturday, July 2 to Monday, July 4 and will reopen on Tuesday, July 5 at 8 a.m.

This temporary closure is due to nursing and physician staffing shortages.

Anyone requiring immediate medical attention should still call 911, as paramedics will get you to the nearest Emergency Department for care.

The closest Emergency Departments to the Clinton Public Hospital are:

Seaforth - HPHA – Seaforth Community Hospital

Goderich – Alexandra Marine & General Hospital

Exeter – South Huron Hospital

Wingham – LWHA – Wingham & District Hospital
