Prince Rupert Regional Hospital Emergency Room to close again overnight from 11 PM to 8 AM

 

After a short seven hour opening from 4 to 11 PM today, Prince Rupert Regional Hospital will Close the ER Overnight from 11 PM to 8 AM on Tuesday.

Northern Health announced the Overnight status for the hospital late Monday afternoon through their Social media stream. 

This evenings closure follows a seventeen hour ER Closure from  late Sunday evening to late Monday afternoon.

As it has been since the first  of the recent closures since March 15th the reason given is related to the challenges of securing physician coverage in the ER Facility.

A review of the last ten days of on again off again closures is available through our archive page.
