Northern Health says the Fort St. John Hospital in Fort St. John has been seeing more patients than usual lately and as a result the wait times for many of the hospital’s services, including within it’s Emergency Department, will be longer than usual.
The Health Authority has asked those in the Fort St. John area to check in with their primary care provider or family doctor first before visiting the hospital so as to reduce the strain on its resources. They’ve also asked those with less urgent needs to consider making use of virtual care options for the time being.
