100 MILE HOUSE, B.C. — The emergency room at the 100 Mile District General Hospital is facing a pair of 13 hour closures in the days ahead.

Interior Health (IH) said the ER will be closed from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. this Friday and Sunday (Aug. 7 and 9), but all other impatient services will be available in the meantime.

“Interior Health recognizes that these changes may have a significant impact on the community and that transparent notification is important. Our teams remain committed to working to cover these shifts right up to the day of each potential service interruption,” the health authority said in a statement.

“If coverage is secured and an interruption is avoided, we will provide an update to the community.”

During these closures, patients in the 100 Mile House area in need of emergency care are being directed to the Cariboo Memorial Hospital in Williams Lake.

“People in the community who need life-threatening emergency care (i.e., chest pains, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding) should always call 911 for transport to the nearest available and appropriate facility,” the IH statement added

“Anyone unsure whether an emergency room visit is warranted can call HealthLink BC at 811, or visit www.HealthLinkBC.ca for non-emergency health information from nurses, dietitians and pharmacists 24 hours a day, seven days per week.”

These two service disruptions are the 35th and 36th of the year in 100 Mile House.
