A visit to the emergency department at the Saint John Regional Hospital could leave you waiting longer than usual.
Horizon Health Network notified the public in social media post at 9 a.m. on Saturday that the facility is experiencing ”high patient volumes.”
As a result, anyone seeking care is being encouraged to evaluate their options. The post advises the public to visit sowhywait.ca to help choose the best option for care.
Horizon announced Friday afternoon that a shortage of nursing staff would result in a reduced operating capacity at the Moncton Hospital this weekend.
