(MONCTON) Jan. 4, 2020 - Horizon is asking the public to limit the use of the Emergency Department to those with severe symptoms.

Horizon's The Moncton Hospital is currently overcapacity and patients and clients may experience long wait times if they present to the emergency department.

We encourage you to visit  www.SoWhyWait.ca for more information about other health care options in the Moncton area.

Please reserve the use of the Emergency Department for emergencies only.

Thank you for your cooperation.
