Exciting Changes: Virtual ER at Bonavista Peninsula Health Centre!

In a significant shift for healthcare services in the region, the Bonavista Peninsula Health Centre is set to implement temporary changes to its emergency services. From January 10 at 8:00 a.m. until January 11 at 8:00 a.m., residents will have access to a virtual emergency room service.

During this period, individuals can still go to the Bonavista Peninsula Health Centre for emergency care. Upon arrival, patients will be assessed by a dedicated team, including a nurse practitioner and a respiratory therapist. If additional treatment is necessary, patients will be transferred swiftly to a hospital equipped to provide comprehensive care.

This innovative approach is part of a growing trend in healthcare, leveraging technology to enhance patient care and maximize resources. The physician's availability through virtual means ensures that expert medical advice is just a click away, minimizing wait times and streamlining the process for those in need of urgent care.

Healthcare professionals are excited about this development and encourage residents to take advantage of these services. The use of virtual ER capabilities not only supports local patients but also strengthens the healthcare system by efficiently directing individuals to facilities equipped for specific needs.

Stay informed and prepared, Bonavista! Your health is our priority!
