Midwestern Newspapers writes that there has not been a specific reason released stating why the emergency department will be closed but LWHA stated in a release that COVID-19 “continues to be present throughout our community and a single staff sick call may result in additional closures.”
Patients are asked to call 911 if they have a medical emergency.
EMS will remain available to the community and will reroute them to surrounding hospitals to ensure continued access to emergency services.
