Please remember to dial 9-1-1 if faced with a medical emergency.

A 'Temporary Disruption of Services' is initiated by the Cypress Health Region when there are insufficient numbers of health care professionals available to provide specific health services at a facility.  Examples of when a temporary disruption is declared:

• Unavailability of physician on-call services
• Unavailability of registered nursing coverage
• Unavailability of diagnostic imaging (that is, lab and x-ray) staff coverage

Although there are occasions where a temporary disruption is necessary due to unavailability of physicians or staff, the health region attempts to reduce the number of occasions and the length of the disruption as much as possible.

Contingency plans are put in place and a variety of stakeholders are made aware, including local EMS crews,

9-1-1 dispatch, HealthLine, and neighboring health facilities.

This page has been developed to increase the public awareness of any facilities that are under a temporary disruption of services, and those that have been identified as possibly requiring a temporary disruption of services in the near future.

A temporary disruption of services can change at any time.  Please check back to this page often for the most up to date information.
