EDMONTON The Grey Nuns Hospital in Edmonton is now the latest in a string of health care facilities in Alberta facing bed closures or service reductions. In an internal letter from Covenant Health that CTV News Edmonton obtained, the hospital operator said “unforeseen medical leaves of several staff in rapid succession” were to blame for a lack of endoscopy coverage at the hospital. Starting Sunday, there would be no weekday nursing coverage from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. and no weekend nursing coverage from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. in the endoscopy unit. There would be staff on site to triage or direct patients to other facilities in the Edmonton health zone.
