Lillooet ER to close for another 13 hours Friday
LILLOOET, B.C. — Residents in Lillooet are navigating the second 13-hour emergency room closure of the week as the facility will be unavailable Friday (April 25) night.
Interior Health says the ER at the Lillooet Hospital and Health Centre will be closed from 7:00 p.m. Friday until 8:00 a.m. Saturday morning. People are once again being told to head to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops if they need emergency care during this closure.
This is the 18th closure of the Lillooet emergency room this year and the eighth in April. The ER was also closed for 13 hours Wednesday night into Thursday morning this week.
As has been the case during past emergency room closures in Lillooet and elsewhere, Interior Health said people should call 9-1-1 if they need emergency care, or HealthLink BC at 8-1-1 if they aren’t sure if they need to head to the emergency room.
