For the 3rd time this month, Mission Memorial Hospital lacks ER docs on a weekend night
MISSION — For the third time in a month, Fraser Health has announced a temporary service adaptation at Mission Memorial Hospital due to physician staffing challenges.
The adaptation will take effect from Friday, August 16 at 10 p.m. until Saturday, August 17 at 8 a.m., according to Fraser Health spokesperson Gurleen Dhessi.
It marks the third time in just August alone that Mission Memorial has lacked ER docs on the weekend. Previous service adaptations occurred August 2-3 and August 10-11.
During this period, emergency-trained nurses will remain on-site to assist walk-in patients with basic first aid and manage the re-direction or transfer of those requiring urgent care to nearby hospitals.
