The Maple Creek Hospital is closed.
The following services are currently unavailable: emergency outpatient services, lab/xray, inpatient admissions, home care, public health, community health, and therapies. In addition, some appointments at the Primary Health Care Clinic and community health-based programming have been post-poned. Those whose appointments have been affected by these post-ponements have been contacted directly.
The region is currently working on contingency plans for health services in the community. Current efforts have resulted in the following tentative plan:
Primary Health Care
The old Royal Bank building, at the corner of Maple Street and 1st Avenue, is being modified to be the temporary home of Primary Health Care services. Health region staff are working hard to prepare this location to accommodate primary care services. It is anticipated that the Clinic will resume operations on Tuesday, May 13. Appointments can be made by calling 306-662-2829.
Emergency Outpatient Services/Lab/X-ray
The TransGas building, located at the corner of Pacific Avenue and Harder Street, will become the temporary location of outpatient emergency services, lab services, and limited diagnostic imaging services (via portable x-ray machine). It is anticipated that these services will become available during the middle of the week of May 12-16. Staff are also working at this location to prepare it to be the temporary home of these services.
Ambulance services have not been disrupted as a result of these contingency plans.
Public Health/Community Health/Therapies/Home Care
Public Health services, Community Health services, Therapy services, and Home Care will be stationed at the Cypress Lodge Nursing Home effective Monday, March 12.
As is always the case, if you are facing a medical emergency, please dial 9-1-1 and an ambulance will be immediately dispatched to assist you. The nearest acute facility emergency outpatient services are located at Shaunavon, Leader, Swift Current, and Medicine Hat (Alberta).
Updates will continue to be provided to this webpage on a regular basis. Please check back often. The Maple Creek staff members and health region appreciate the public’s understanding during this situation.
