For the fourth time in 2025, emergency services at Oliver's hospital will be made unavailable.
The South Okanagan General Hospital's emergency room is closing from 5 p.m. on Friday (May 2) to noon on Saturday (May 3), Interior Health (IH) announced.
Patients are asked to access emergency care at Penticton Regional Hospital during this time.
"People in the community who need life-threatening emergency care should always call 911 for transport to the nearest available and appropriate facility," its announcement reads.
The Oliver-based hospital closed its emergency room twice in April and once in March this year, after a slew of regular service interruptions in 2023 and 2024.
All other inpatient services at the facility have continued during the closures.
