Durham Hospital ED closed Saturday

The Durham Emergency Department will be closed again this weekend.

The South Bruce Grey Health Centre announced the closure would last all day Saturday, due to a staffing shortage. The ED will reopen at 7 a.m. on Sunday.

An ambulance bypass will be in effect during that time to divert patients to the nearest open ED.

Anyone experiencing a medical emergency should call 911 for immediate care. Health Connect Ontario is available 24/7 for non-emergency health-related questions by calling 811.
