The Network asks to reduce Emergency Department visits at Hôtel-Dieu Saint-Joseph de Saint-Quentin

Saint-Quentin, Saturday, April 2, 2022 – Vitalité Health Network asks that the public limit their visits to the Emergency department of the Hôtel-Dieu Saint-Joseph de Saint-Quentin, except in cases of an emergency. This temporary measure is due to a lack of medical staff in the hospital facility.

At Hôtel-Dieu Saint-Joseph de Saint-Quentin, this will be in effect:
Between 8 p.m. on Saturday, April 2, 2022, and 8 a.m. on Sunday, April 3, 2022. 

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, see their community pharmacist, or call Tele-Care (811).

People who still come to the Saint-Quentin 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.
