Vitalité Health Network is asking the public not to visit the Stella-Maris-de-Kent Hospital’s emergency department this weekend (October 13-16) unless absolutely necessary.

This is due to a high volume of patients.

The Network encourages individuals with non-critical health conditions to schedule an appointment with their family doctor or nurse practitioner, consult their community pharmacist, visit a walk-in clinic, or contact the Tele-Care service (811) or eVisitNB
