Tips Before You Go

• Call the facility at 306-784-2466 before visiting for non-emergency needs, as some visiting specialist services such as occupational therapy and physical therapy operate on limited schedules.

• Patients requiring specialized care (cardiac, trauma, surgery, or pediatric services) should be aware they may be stabilized and transferred to Cypress Regional Hospital in Swift Current.
• There are no public transit options in Herbert — arrange a ride in advance if you do not have your own vehicle, especially for scheduled appointments.
