LILLOOET, B.C. — The emergency department in Lillooet is once again temporarily closed for 25 hours.

In a news release issued Sunday evening, Interior Health says the emergency department at Lillooet Hospital and Health Centre will be unavailable from 7:00 a.m. Monday (Oct. 21) to 8:00 a.m. Tuesday due to limited physician availability.
