The diversion at Health Centre started on Friday as a result of an on-going staffing shortage.
Northern Health had said that services at the Emergency Department at the Hudson’s Hope Health Centre were supposed to be available Monday at 8:30am.
However the health authority now says, residents will have to wait until Tuesday at 8:30am.
The health authority announced the closure on social media and on its new Emergency Department Status webpage.
The community of Hudson’s Hope has been significantly impacted recently by Northern Health’s failure to solve a doctor and nursing shortage.
The inability to attract enough new healthcare workers has plagued the region for the past five years.
Two weeks ago the Emergency Department was closed. It was also on diversion starting on March 6th and didn’t re-open until March 9th.
It comes after the Emergency Department was closed for a 10-day stretch starting on February 17th.
