“Patients can access emergency care in Penticton Regional Hospital during this time,” IH added.

“Anyone who needs life-threatening emergency care (i.e. chest pains, difficult breathing, severe bleeding) should always call 911 for transport to the nearest available and appropriate facility.”

While the emergency department in Oliver has not had the same level of issues as seen in Lillooet, it has still shut down several times in recent weeks.
