As a result of a physician shortage, Port Hardy Hospital will have limited health services overnight this Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Vancouver Island Health Authority announced this week.
The emergency room closure will run from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. Mar. 16, 17 and 18.
Regular hours will resume Tuesday morning.
Those with an emergency should call 911 or proceed to the Port McNeill Emergency Department.
