BARRIERE, B.C. — Limited staffing availability is causing another healthcare closure in the North Thompson.

Interior Health confirms the day clinic at the Barriere Health Centre will be closed until July 18.

In an email to CFJC Today, IH notes even when the Barriere day clinic is open as normal, patients who require a higher level of emergency care, such as a serious illness or injury, will need to seek care at RIH in Kamloops.
