The South Bruce Grey Health Centre has announced emergency department overnight closures at two hospitals this weekend.
“All efforts to find staffing for the emergency department have been undertaken without success,” a release from the hospital organization says.
A release says the Chesley & Walkerton ERs will be closed overnight Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
They will be closed from 5 p.m. to 7 a.m. each night.
To assist with additional patient volumes presenting to Hanover hospital due to these closures, the Chesley physicians have offered to come to the Hanover ED once they have finished up in Chesley, and work in the Hanover ED on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings.
