Overnight ER closures in Williams Lake draw attention to hospital operations, ongoing recruitment needs in Cariboo
WILLIAMS LAKE, B.C. — Williams Lake mayor and council have responded to the latest overnight closure of the Cariboo Memorial Hospital’s emergency room.
Civic leaders have agreed to ask Interior Health to conduct an internal review of hospital operations and management.
The hope is a review could identify ways to keep staffing levels stable for overnight shifts and to draw more nurses and doctors to the Cariboo in the long term, especially as Cariboo Memorial Hospital undergoes a $366-million expansion.
