As of February 1, the Melfort Hospital will be closing their On-Call clinic.

The Kelsey Trail Health Region says it is being temporarily closed due to mounting workload on the Melfort physician group.

It was added that the closure will be for an indefinite period.

The clinic was started up in 2014 to help direct non-urgent patients from the ER, as well as to improve services for those who don't have a family physician, or if the physician was away.
