When the emergency department in Elkford is closed, residents should:
– In the event of an emergency, call 9-1-1.
– Go to the emergency department in Sparwood (8 a.m. to 7 p.m.) or Fernie (24/7 emergency department service). Lab collection and X-ray services are also available in Sparwood and Fernie.
– If individuals are unsure about what services they require, call HealthLink BC at 8-1-1. The toll-free line provides 24-hour, confidential health information and advice from a registered nurse.
