As a small rural facility with 6 acute care beds, capacity can fill quickly. If your condition is not life-threatening, consider calling 306-628-5500 before arriving to speak with staff.
For life-threatening emergencies, call 911 immediately. On-site EMS at this facility can coordinate emergency response for the surrounding region.
Some specialist and visiting services such as physiotherapy, mental health, and dietitian are not available every day — contact the facility in advance to schedule these services.
