Please be advised the temporary disruption to emergency and acute care services at the Arcola Health Centre and emergency services at Radville Marian Health Centre have been extended until further notice.
Due to active COVID-19 activity in the area and required realignment of health services to support patient care, emergency services are NOT available at Arcola or Radville at this time. There are also currently no acute care patient admissions at Arcola.
Lab/x-ray services at either facility are not affected by this disruption.
In the event of an emergency call 9-1-1. Residents in the Arcola may visit the emergency department in Kipling, Redvers, Weyburn or Estevan and residents of the Radville area may visit the emergency department in Weyburn. Non-urgent health related questions can be directed to the provincial HealthLine by calling 8-1-1.
The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) is working to reopen the emergency department at Arcola Health Centre and Radville Marian Health Centre, as well as inpatient admissions at Arcola, as soon as possible. At this time, we are not able to confirm a date. Staff members have been redeployed to support the SHA’s pandemic response.
Service disruptions due to COVID-19 can be found on the service alerts page of the Saskatchewan Health Authority website.
These actions are being taken to escalate the SHA’s response to recent COVID-19 case surges to enable the SHA to redeploy staff to critical services in order to meet rising COVID-19 demand and save lives.
We want to remind the Saskatchewan residents that they are our first line of defense in stopping the spread of COVID-19 and their actions make all the difference in protecting all of our families, friends and neighbours. Please help us by:
- Physical distancing;
- Washing your hands regularly;
- Limiting your bubble as much as possible;
- Abiding by all public health orders;
- Wear a mask whenever you are in public indoor settings;
- Stay home if you are feeling even the mildest symptoms as an increasing number of cases are residents going to work when sick;
- Download the Government of Canada COVID Alert App and use it to protect yourself and your loved ones
