We are experiencing a staffing shortage in our physician group for the Emergency Department (ED) today October 16, 2026.
As we work to get planned physician locum support in place, a local physician will balance their Scheduled Primary Care responsibilities as well as the Emergency Department needs.
The Emergency Department is open; however, we ask that you visit the ED only if you have an emergency. Based on patient prioritization you may experience longer wait times.
If you are unsure whether you have an emergency, seek health-related advice by calling Health Connect Ontario (24/7) at 811.
We thank you for your understanding and continued cooperation.
