The emergency department at Clinton Public Hospital will be closed part of the weekend.
Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance said the emergency department will close at 8 p.m. Friday night and reopen with regular hours ( 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. ) on Sunday morning at 8 a.m.
HPPH said health human resource shortages are the reason.
Anyone requiring immediate medical attention should call 9-1-1.
Paramedics will remain available to the community and will re-route to the nearest available emergency department to ensure local residents continue to have access to the emergency services they need.
The closest 24-hour emergency departments are in Seaforth, Goderich and Exeter.
