Daysland Health Centre is a rural full-service health facility operated by Alberta Health Services, located at 5920 51 Ave in Daysland, Alberta, serving residents of Flagstaff County and the surrounding communities. The emergency department operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, staffed by physicians, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and respiratory therapists who assess patients using the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS).
