Spiritwood Emergency Centre back to full time strength
The community of Spiritwood will see a return to fuller emergency health care as of Saturday. They’ll have been without weekend service for twelve weeks because of a nurse shortage.
Tracie Davies, the manager of community development and primary care said they’ve now added to their crew.
“We had a registered nurse go on maternity leave and we have been able to recruit a temporary full-time nurse. We’re fortunate she’ll be moving into the community,” Davies said.
The Collaborative Emergency Centre (CEC) will resume weekend hours from Saturday bringing it back to a seven-days-a-week, operating from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m.
