Oliver hospital closing emergency room for 2nd night in a row

The emergency department at the hospital in Oliver will be closed from 7 p.m. On May 3 until 7 a.m. On May 4, marking the second night in a row without emergency services.
Interior Health announced this closure follows a 19-hour emergency room shutdown on the previous night and marks the fifth such interruption in 2025.
The hospital has experienced regular emergency room closures throughout 2023 and 2024, prompting patients to seek emergency care at Penticton Regional Hospital.
Interior Health stated that while emergency care is not available, other hospital services for admitted patients will remain operational at South Okanagan General Hospital.
These repeated emergency room closures suggest ongoing challenges in maintaining continuous emergency care at the Oliver hospital.
