Physician Group of Rocky Mountain House released a letter Tuesday to area residents explaining the situation.
The letter said the western Alberta community’s hospital has had a general surgical program for decades but the services are in serious jeopardy.
AHS has made it difficult for local surgeons to utilize the O.R. at the hospital, and now that a community-funded expansion has opened.
Rocky Mountain House has already been dealing with a physician shortage that has affected the emergency room.
Alberta Health Services said there are no plans to decrease surgeries in the community.
AHS said the surgical program is staffed by both permanent and locum physicians, as well as travelling surgeons for the new orthopedic surgical service.
