A local emergency department will close for a full day due to insufficient staffing.

The South Bruce Grey Health Centre says the Chesley Hospital Emergency Department will close all day on Tuesday, October 17. It will re-open on Wednesday, October 18 at 7 a.m.

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.
