Sussex Emergency Department To Close Early

Due to an unexpected shortage of available staff, the Emergency Department at Horizon’s Sussex Health Centre will close at 8:30 p.m. on Friday.

Horizon Health said regular hours will resume Saturday at 7:30 a.m.

During this temporary closure, anyone experiencing a medical emergency should visit the nearest 24-hour emergency department or call 911.

Sussex-area residents can use other options for non-urgent medical needs such as Tele-Care 811, pharmacies, eVisitNB.ca and after-hours clinics.
