Residents in the Peace Region needing access to the Fort St. John Hospital will need to exercise a little more patience.
According to a Facebook post from Northern Health, the emergency department at the city’s hospital is experiencing higher than usual patient volumes leading to longer wait times.
To help reduce strain on emergency and acute care resources, those with less urgent care needs are advised to visit their primary care provider/family physician’s office or a local walk-in clinic during regular business hours.
Patients without a family doctor or nurse practitioner are encouraged to call the Northern Health Virtual Clinic to book an appointment.
