The Integrated Health and Social Services Center (CISSS) of the North Shore announced in a press release that the Forestville emergency room will be closed between 5 p.m. and 8 a.m., until June 20.
He invites people who need to consult a doctor in the evening or at night to go to another emergency service closest to their home, in Baie-Comeau or Les Escoumins. In the event of an emergency, ambulance services will remain available, as will 911 calls.
People already registered, who waited during the day for non-urgent care (priority scale P4 and P5), will stop being seen from 5 p.m. and will have to go to another emergency room. Transfers could also be made to Baie-Comeau or Les Escoumins.
