NEW: Carleton Place hospital ER temporarily closing due to nurse shortage for the fourth time this month ottnews
"We know these closures are concerning for our community," Mary Wilson Trider, President and CEO, said in a statement.
"Unfortunately, we are dealing with multiple sick leaves. We are in contact with Ontario Health East Ministry staff to discuss potential solutions." The Carleton Place hospital ER was closed overnight on July 3, for 13 hours July 6-7 and overnight July 13 due to shortages of nursing staff. "Like many rural hospitals in Ontario and across the country, the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital has had to close the Emergency Department for short periods due to staffing challenges," the Mississippi River Health Alliance said in a statement."The ED has a very small staff with one physician and two nurses working on each shift. If one of them is sick, there is a big impact as there is not a large pool of people with Emergency Department training to draw from.
The Mississippi River Health Alliance says anyone requiring medical attention should call 9-1-1, and paramedics will transport patients to the nearest emergency department for care.
