Only One Emergency Department Open In Regional Municipality, Today

by Bobby NockApril 22, 2019

The Emergency Department at the Regional Hospital in Sydney is the only one open in the regional municipality, today.

The Glace Bay Emergency Department closed early last week and is not scheduled to re-open until May 29th.

The New Waterford Emergency Department is closed until 7:00 tomorrow morning.

And, the Emergency Department at the Northside General is closed until 8:00 tomorrow morning.

The Provincial Health Authority blames all three closures on what it calls a lack of doctor coverage.
