The closure, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., is because there is no physician available to provide medical coverage.
Overnight coverage, provided by the paramedic-registered nurse-oversight physician team, is not impacted.
Those experiencing an emergency should always call 911. General health concerns can be addressed by calling 811 and the mental health crisis line is operational around the clock at 1-888-429-8167.
