Update on Services at the U.S. Memorial Health Centre

Eastern Health has been working with town officials from St. Lawrence and neighbouring towns around resumption of emergency services for the citizens of St. Lawrence and surrounding areas.

We are pleased to advise the town of the following:

Starting on September 21, 2020, we will expand emergency services at U. S. Memorial Health Centre to seven days a week, 12 hours a day, from 7:30 a.m. – 7:30 p.m.
On September 28, 2020, we will resume full services at the U.S. Memorial Health Centre. This includes further expansion of services at the emergency department from 12 hours a day to 24 hours a day, as well as access to medical imaging.
Virtual care will continue for family practice; and in-person physician visits may increase if needed. Patients are advised to discuss their health needs with their family physician who will determine if a face-to-face visit if needed.
Routine blood collection and medical imaging services are by appointment.
Up until September 21 when these changes are effective, emergency services will continue to be offered Monday - Friday from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.

Eastern Health would like to assure citizens that resumption plans are moving forward for services that were impacted by COVID-19. We remain committed to quality and safe care for our patients during the pandemic, and value our partnership with the town as we continue to work together for the benefit of all community residents.

Eastern Health thanks the public for their understanding at this time.
