Saskatoon City Hospital emergency department expands hours
The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) says the Saskatoon City Hospital emergency department will increase its hours of operation starting Sunday. In a statement sent Saturday afternoon, the SHA said starting June 29, the emergency department will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. 'The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) has made progress in stabilizing its physician staffing and is taking a phased approach in resuming SCH ED's full operational hours,' SHA said in the statement. This follows a temporary reduction in hours announced earlier this spring, during which the emergency department operated from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. due to physician availability constraints. Since February, the Saskatoon City Hospital emergency department has operated with reduced hours, with several extensions due to ongoing physician availability challenges. The SHA says this phased approach aims to provide better support across Saskatoon's emergency departments during the summer months, while work continues on the planned addition of 109 acute care beds at Saskatoon City Hospital. The SHA says it remains committed to a full resumption of hours at Saskatoon City Hospital in the coming months.
