Changes are being put in place to ensure the emergency department at the Kings County Memorial Hospital remains open and strengthen primary care for Kings County residents.
Health PEI says it will hire “dedicated emergency department physicians for the hospital that will support the compliment of family doctors already providing emergency care at the hospital.
The ER at Kings County Memorial has faced many closures this year due to lack of staff available.
Health Minister Robert Mitchell wants to change that and ensure the emergency room will stay open.
