Masset’s emergency service faces potential closures
The Masset hospital emergency department will likely face closures due to nursing and staff shortages, representatives from Northern Health said on Feb. 6.
The Village of Masset council first heard about the impending closures when a group of health professionals brought it to their attention near the end of January, Sheri Disney, mayor of Masset said. During this meeting, when Northern Health originally talked to Masset’s council, they told them they were looking at closing the emergency room from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. and also potentially closing long-term care, Disney said.“I started speaking quite publicly about it on Feb. 1,” Disney said.
The CAO said he thinks they are at the stage where the worry about continued services was becoming greater and there was need to re-engage with the community to express concern.
