Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance (HPHA) Emergency Department in St. Mary’s will be closed temporarily tonight – shutting it’s doors at 5pm. The department will reopen tomorrow at 7am, resuming regular operating hours.

Several 24-hour Emergency Departments are available nearby:

It is advised that you contact the listed Emergency Departments before attending to confirm that they are operating with their regular hours during this temporary reduction.
