Vitalité Health Network, Friday, June 30, 2023 – – Vitalité Health Network informs the people of Kent of major changes at the Stella-Maris-de-Kent Hospital Emergency Room (ER) during the weekend; these changes are due to a critical lack of nursing staff during the periods indicated below:
- Friday, June 30 (during the night)
from 7:30 p.m. to Saturday, July 1st at 7:30 a.m.: ER closed- Saturday, July 1st (during the night)
from 7:30 p.m. to Sunday, July 2nd at 7:30 a.m.: ER closed

The Network asks people whose health condition is not critical to make an appointment with their family doctor or nurse practitioner, consult their community pharmacist, go to a walk-in clinic, call Tele-Care (811) or go online to eVisitNB.
The Network thanks the public for their kind cooperation.
