Bengough Health Centre and Coronach Health Centre Emergency Department Temporarily Closed

Sun Country Health Region regretfully announces the temporary closure of the emergency department at Bengough Health Centre and Coronach Health Centre.

The closure will take effect at 2:00 P.M. on Friday, December 1, 2006 until 8:00 A.M. Monday, December 4, 2006. Residents of the area are advised to access emergency departments in alternative health care locations.

Radville Health Centre, Assiniboia Hospital, Weyburn Hospital, Moose Jaw Hospital and Regina Hospitals will provide alternate emergency department services.

The lack of physician coverage in the area is causing this temporary closure.

Marga Cugnet, Vice President of Primary and Integrated Health for Sun Country Health Region continues to work with physicians and the communities to find physicians to provide temporary services for Bengough and Coronach residents to avoid such closures.

Media: For more information, please call Marga Cugnet, Vice President of Primary and Integrated Health for Sun Country Health Region, at 842-8398.
