Four years ago, the temporarily closed sign went up outside the Clinton Hospital’s emergency room.
Four years ago, the temporarily closed sign went up outside the Clinton Hospital’s emergency room.
“I guess we have a new definition for temporary,” says Central Huron Mayor Jim Ginn.
Ginn says he never expected that Clinton’s ER would still be closed in the overnight hours four years after the temporary closure began due to nursing shortages on Dec. 2, 2019.
“It’s been a long four years, we’ll say that for sure. Really not something that HPHA is happy about either,” says Lynanne Mason, chief nursing executive with the Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance (HPHA).
Mason says finding experienced nurses to work the overnight shift at the Clinton emergency room is something she works on, on a daily basis, as the chief nursing executive with the HPHA, which operates hospitals in Clinton, Seaforth, St. Marys, and Stratford.
She says they’ve added several local nurses to the Clinton hospital in the recent months, thanks to new funding from the province.
