Interior Health (IH) is announcing that the Emergency Room (ER) at 100 Mile District General Hospital will reopen tonight at 8 p.m.

The ER at 100 Mile’s hospital has been closed since 7 a.m on Friday, January 2. The health authority originally stated via a media release on Thursday, January 1, that the ER will be closed until 8 a.m on Saturday, January 3.

On Friday, IH stated it was able to “secure a physician” for Friday night and will reopen the ER at 8 p.m.

IH still cautions residents in 100 Mile House and the surrounding area in need of care that, until the emergency room reopens, they need to access care at Cariboo Memorial Hospital in Williams Lake.

Anyone in need of life-threatening emergency care should call 9-1-1 to be transported to the nearest available and appropriate facility.
