Healthcare services are back on track for a few hours Today at the Shaunavon Hospital following a temporary disruption in services over the long weekend. However, as of 7:00 Tonight until 7:30 Tomorrow morning, once again there will be NO Emergency Outpatient Services or Inpatient Admissions Available. An ongoing shortage of Nursing staff to cover the 12 hour shifts at the facility has forced the Cypress Health Region to temporary close the doors for Emergency Services and Patient Admissions when necessary. The latest round of disruption in service was seen last week and again over the long weekend.

The Cypress Health Region has been dealing with this shortage of Nursing staff for several months with the Region actively trying to solve the problem. SWTV News File Image.
