The emergency room at Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital will be closing its doors at 7 p.m. tonight (Friday, April 28), and is expected to re-open at 7 A.M Saturday (April 30)
This temporary closure is due to a staffing shortage. The rest of the hospital is still open and caring for patients.
“Patient and staff safety is our main priority,” notes Mary Wilson Trider, President and CEO. “Our dedicated teams at both Almonte General Hospital and Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital continue their tireless efforts to ensure we have the necessary staff to support our community with their health care needs. We are closely supported by our team at the Lanark County Paramedic Service.”
Anyone requiring immediate medical attention should call 9-1-1. Paramedics will take you to the nearest Emergency Department for care. Do not present at the CPDMH Emergency Department during the closure.
Emergency services are not available for the next 24 hours.
