The Emergency Room at Fishermen's Memorial Hospital in Lunenburg is closed this morning (Thursday). It will remain that way until this afternoon at 3:30. South Shore Health says a shortage of ER staff is responsible for the closure. Officials advise anyone needing emergency service should call 911 or visit the South Shore Regional Hospital in Bridgewater. Those who have non-emergencies should contact their family doctor or call Health Link 811 for medical advice.
