Some procedures scheduled for today at the Health Sciences, Janeway and St. Clare’s Hospital have been postponed due to staffing levels.

NL Health Services says all elective and day surgeries scheduled for today have been postponed due to reduced staffing levels as a result of the evacuation orders and alerts currently in effect.

The health authority is in the process of contacting all patients to reschedule.

Elective and day surgeries scheduled for the rest of the week will be assessed and rescheduled if needed.

There is no impact to emergency services, outpatient services, blood collection, imaging services or any community-based appointments at this time.
