After being closed for the past 3 months, the emergency department at the Roblin and District Health Centre has reopened.
Prairie Mountain Health explained the shutdown of the emergency department back in September was a result of staffing shortages due to retirements, maternity leaves, and staff departures.
Petr Kresta, Chief Operating Officer, Diagnostic Services for Shared Health says the reopening is a result of recruitment to fill vacancies in the Russell and Roblin area.
The emergency department hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday.
X-rays were among some of the diagnostic services relocated to the Russell Health Centre when the shutdown took effect September 4th.
A Shared Health spokesperson says the full complement of diagnostic services will resume at the Roblin hospital when enough staff are recruited to the area.
