The Network asks to reduce Emergency Department visits at Campbellton Regional Hospital

Campbellton, Friday, April 22, 2022 – Vitalité Health Network asks that the public limit their visits to the Emergency Department of the Campbellton Regional Hospital, except in cases of an emergency. This temporary measure is due to a lack of nursing staff in the hospital facility.

This will be in effect from Saturday, April 23, 2022, at 8:00 a.m., until Monday, April 25, 2022,
at Campbellton Regional Hospital. 

The Emergency Department of the hospital will remain available for people who need urgent care and who wish to see a doctor. However, the Network asks that people whose health condition is not critical see their family doctor, their community pharmacist, or call Tele-Care (811).

People who still come to the Campbellton Emergency Department for non-urgent reasons may be referred to another hospital or asked to return the next day if their condition permits.

The Network thanks the public for their valuable co-operation.
