The ER at Seaforth Community Hospital will shut its doors at 5 a.m. on Saturday, June 3. It will reopen on Sunday, June 4 at 8 a.m. and resume regular hours (24-hour service).
The Clinton Public Hospital will close its ER on Sunday, June 4. Doors will reopen at 8 a.m. on Monday, June 4 and return to reduced hours of operation (8 a.m. to 6 p.m.).
