Residents of Labrador West Displaced or Impacted by Forest Fire asked to Call 811 for Urgent/Non-emergent Health
Residents in Labrador West who are displaced or impacted by the wildfire are asked to call 811 for urgent/non-emergent health issues and medication-related concerns, including prescription refills.
The Labrador West Health Centre will remain closed until it is safe to fully reopen. NL Health Services advises patients with a medical emergency to call 911. Ambulances are on standby to respond to emergency calls as walk-in emergency services are not available.
Health-care services continue to be available at alternate sites across the Labrador-Grenfell Zone. The Labrador Health Centre in Happy Valley–Goose Bay has initiated a Code Orange to support potential additional demands on the facility.
