SACKVILLE – Due to a nursing shortage the Emergency Department at Horizon’s Sackville Memorial Hospital will be temporarily closed for the entire weekend.

The Emergency Department will close on Friday, April 15, 2022 at 4 p.m. and reopen Monday, April 18, 2022 at 8 a.m.

The Emergency Department will not be seeing patients and clients during the temporary closure and ambulances will be diverted to other hospitals.
