The Hanover & District Hospital is advising those that visit its Emergency Department to expect longer wait times in the upcoming days due to multiple emergency department closures within the region.
They note that the Emergency Department does not operate on a first come, first serve basis.
The triage process determines which patients need the most urgent care and prioritizes accordingly.
They encourage non-urgent patients to consider another alternative such as a family physician or virtual clinic.
In a medical emergency call 911.
They ask for all of the community to be patient and kind with their healthcare team during this time.
