Starting today, November 10, the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) is posting information regarding emergency service disruptions via their website, with updates occurring daily at 4 p.m. seven days a week.
This webpage, found at saskhealthauthority.ca/servicedisruptions, lists all affected facilities alphabetically and provide direct links from the SHA Facilities & Locations directory to community-specific disruption notices.
When emergency room services are disrupted, signage will be posted at the affected facility, and Healthline 811 will have real-time information available. Patients and families are encouraged to call Healthline 811 toll-free, 24 hours a day, for advice regarding service availability or to access health guidance from Registered Nurses and other qualified health professionals.
Work is also underway to enhance this process by developing a longer-term, user-friendly public interface to support real-time updates.
In any life-threatening emergency, call 9-1-1 immediately so paramedics can assess, treat, and transport the patient to the nearest available site for medical attention.
