100 MILE HOUSE, B.C. — Residents in the 100 Mile House area will be without emergency room coverage for multiple days this Easter long weekend.

Interior Health has announced three upcoming closures at the 100 Mile House District General Hospital, which is currently closed as of publishing. These three closures will make it 16 this year in the Cariboo community, and fourth this month.

The trio of service interruptions will begin with a 17 hour closure from 3:00 p.m. Friday (April 3) to 8:00 a.m. on Saturday. There will also be two 13-hour closures between 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Easter Sunday and Easter Monday.

People in the 100 Mile House area who need emergency care are being told to head to Cariboo Memorial Hospital in Williams Lake, located about an hour’s drive away.

“Interior Health recognizes that, with the long weekend ahead, these changes may have a significant impact on the community and that transparent notification is important,” the health authority said in a statement Thursday (April 2).

“Our teams remain committed to working to cover these shifts right up to the day of each potential service interruption. If coverage is secured and an interruption is avoided, we will provide an update to the community.”

As has been the case for previous emergency room closures, Interior Health says people should call 911 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.
