Once again, a lack of physician coverage has resulted in the planned closure of the Oliver hospital’s emergency department June 15 (Saturday).

Residents are advised that the department will be closed from 6 p.m. on Saturday to 8 a.m. on Sunday, June 16.

Interior Health says residents who require care during this time should visit Penticton Regional Hospital. If it is an emergency, call 9-1-1.

If you are unsure about your need to visit the emergency department, call HealthLinkBC at 8-1-1.
