VANDERHOOF – The hospital in Vanderhoof has been struck with what many northern hospitals are plagued with. Northern Health had to shut down the emergency ward at St. John Hospital in Vanderhoof for a couple of days last week. Northern Health says people with life-threatening conditions were directed to call 9-1-1 to be transported to the nearest facility. And all of it is concerning for the mayor of that community.
