As always, doctors will try to see all patients already in the emergency department before their shifts end at 11 p.m., at which point emergency-trained nurses will stay to support walk-in patients needing basic care and redirect others to neighbouring hospitals.

Anyone with a life-threatening emergency is asked to call 9-1-1 immediately to be taken to the nearest and most appropriate facility.

After this, though, the health agency says there will be no more vacant physician shifts at the hospital’s E.R. for the rest of July. Construction is also underway to expand and upgrade the E.R. in Mission.

“These upgrades give staff and medical staff better facilities and modern equipment, helping Fraser Health attract and retain staff and medical staff by creating a better-equipped, more supportive place to provide care,” Fraser Health told Fraser Valley Today. 

“By bringing the emergency department up to today’s standards, Mission becomes a more appealing place for emergency physicians to work at every stage of their careers.”
