Potential Disruption of Emergency Department Services at La Verendrye General Hospital

July 06, 2025

   

Riverside Health Care is advising the community about a potential temporary disruption of Emergency Department services at La Verendrye General Hospital (LVGH) due to unforeseen circumstances.

At this time, contingency planning is underway at LVGH for a possible closure:

From: Wednesday, July 9, 2025, at 8:00 p.m.

Until: Thursday, July 10, 2025, at 8:00 a.m.

We are diligently working with our local, regional, and provincial partners to explore all available options to avoid this temporary disruption, and efforts are ongoing to ensure minimal impact to our services.

The well-being and safety of our communities remains our top priority. Should the Emergency Department at LVGH require temporary closure, we have implemented measures to ensure that our existing hospital patients receive the care they need without interruption.

In the case of an Emergency Department closure, ambulances will be re-routed to the nearest available Emergency Department.

Anyone requiring immediate medical assistance should call 9-1-1. Access to non-urgent health advice or information is available 24 hours a day by calling Health811 at 8-1-1 (TTY: 1-866-797-0007), or by visiting Health811 Online.

Riverside Health Care is committed to keeping the community informed as this situation evolves. We will continue to share updates as they become available.
