Your health and well-being is important to NVHA. Your emergency is important to NVHA, so if you are given another number to call when you call any of these numbers, it only means that there is a change in shift of the emergency on-call worker. NVHA nurses and doctors work emergency services on a rotational basis, so the emergency phone number to call may change depending on who is on shift.
Another option is to call the health centre number in your community. The voice mail message will include all emergency contact number(s) for that day. It is changed daily and provides the most up-to-date on-call emergency contact information.
