Public Notice – November 1, 2021
Labrador-Grenfell Health is advising the public that a current provincial IT system outage continues to affect some of our information systems in the region. Labrador-Grenfell Health continues to assess the situation and has implemented backup procedures.
As a result, routine laboratory and diagnostic imaging appointments set for November 2 and 3 will be cancelled and rescheduled at a later date. Patients may also experience delays at registration. Other services will continue.
