People can still call 9-1-1 for life-threatening emergencies like chest pains, difficulty breathing or severe bleeding.

“Anyone unsure whether an emergency room visit is warranted can call HealthLink BC at 8-1-1, or visit www.HealthLinkBC.ca for non-emergency health information from nurses, dietitians and pharmacists 24 hours a day, seven days per week,” said IH.

All other inpatient services will continue at the hospital, however.

The most recent closure at the Lillooet Hospital and Health Centre was overnight Thursday, June 27.
