Protesters from the Whitbourne area rented a bus and braved freezing temperatures to make their voices heard. On Tuesday, dozens took to the steps of Confederation Building to demand the restoration of full-time ER services.
Since June 27, the emergency department at Whitbourne's William H. Newhook Health Centre have been suspended. The ER, which serves around 20,000 residents in the area, is a vital part of provincial health care, say protesters.
