Mission memorial hospital emergency services update

Due to physician staffing challenges, you will not be able to be registered for an emergency department visit at Mission Memorial Hospital from 11:00p.m. on Monday, July 22, to 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, July 23.

During the service interruption, an emergency trained nurse will be on site and available to support any walk-in patients needing basic first aid and to assist with re-direction for care. We have expanded the hours for the Mission Urgent and Primary Care Centre (UPCC) to be available to provide care for non-life threatening conditions, such as minor cuts, sprains, infections, and chronic disease management until 11:30 pm this evening.

If you have a life-threatening emergency, such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, or severe bleeding, please call 9-1-1 immediately and you will be transported to the nearest available and appropriate facility. For non-life threatening emergencies, you can also seek care at Ridge Meadows Hospital (11666 Laity Street, Maple Ridge) or Abbotsford Regional Hospital (32900 Marshall Road, Abbotsford). These hospitals have full-service Emergency Departments that are open 24/7.

If you need trusted health advice, you can call Fraser Health Virtual Care at 1-800-314-0999 to speak with a registered nurse from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., seven-days-a-week. You can also call 8-1-1 outside of those hours to speak with a health service navigator or a registered nurse.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and your loved ones and we thank you for your patience and understanding during this difficult time. We recognize that changes to normal service are concerning for people, especially when they affect Emergency Department services. These interruptions only happen as a last resort to protect the safety and quality of care for our patients that need emergency care.
