The Milk River Health Centre Emergency Department will re-open to full 24-hour service at 10 a.m. tomorrow, July 11, as physician coverage has been secured.

The temporary closure had previously been anticipated to continue until Thursday, July 13.

AHS is working hard to ensure local residents continue to have access to the care they need when they need it.

We are thankful for the support of surrounding healthcare centres and medical staff and would like to thank the community for their patience and understanding.
