Interior Health continues to struggle with service at Princeton General Hospital and announced June 26th further ‘temporary service changes’ to the emergency department.
In addition to the already implemented changes Monday to Wednesday nights from 12:00 AM (Midnight) to 8:00 AM, adjusted physician responce times will also include 12:00 AM (Midnight) to 8:00 AM on Friday, July 6th to Sunday, July 8th.
IHA has provided a clearer description of what to expect at the PGH ER during these times.
“The Emergency Department remains open with a nurse at the site to assess patients, while the physician will be on call for emergent cases.”
As has happened in the past, IHA reminds you that patients with ‘less urgent matters’ will be assessed by the trained nurse on site but, depending on their condition, may be transferred to a nearby hospital for care or offered appropriate options.
If this is the case, IHA says it is important to be prepared when you arrive at the Princeton ER.
“Bring your wallet, shoes, clothes and make arrangements for the return home.”
Interior Health says additional dates when ‘temporary service changes’ will affect the PGH ER will be posted when they are available.
The exact reason why I left there in the first place,I have 2 kid's I will not take a chance with their lives because the hospital there is so ridiculous!

ReplyDeleteSo IHA is planning even more CLOSURES!!! Amazing! How can they sleep at night? They won't rest until they have killed the towns of Princeton, Coalmont and Tulameen. Our blood is on THEIR hands (not that they care)!
Would be a good thing if all IHA "bigwigs" were to be needing PGH during our "not closed" ER dates! And it should be serious issues they are dealing with needing our ER....
