Fraser Health advises Mission and surrounding area residents that due to physician staffing challenges at Mission Memorial Hospital, Fraser Health is implementing a temporary service interruption notice for nine (9) hours between Friday, August 2nd at 11:00 pm to Saturday, August 3rd, at 8:00 am.

During this time, emergency trained nurses will continue to be on site and available to support walk-in patients needing basic first aid, assist with re-direction of care, and/or transfer patients with urgent needs to a neighboring hospital.

Anyone with a life-threatening emergency, such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, or severe bleeding, should call 9-1-1 immediately and will be transported to the nearest available and appropriate facility.

If you need trusted health advice, you can call Fraser Health Virtual Care at 1-800-314-0999 to speak with a registered nurse from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. seven-days-a-week. You can also call 8-1-1 outside of those hours to speak with a health service navigator or a registered nurse.

We appreciate your patience and support as we address these Health Human Resource challenges and thank our staff, medical staff and BC Emergency Health Services staff for their commitment to providing quality care.
