The Indian Health Service has limited emergency services at the Crownpoint Hospital in New Mexico due to an acute shortage of technical staff, it was reported this week in the Farmington Daily Times. The limited hours are expected to last until mid-June.
The Indian Health Services hospital, which serves a population of about 20,000 Navajo people, will not offer emergency services during nights or weekends until more staff members are hired. In the meantime, patients needing emergency services at night or on weekends are instructed to go to nearby facilities in Gallup, Fort Defiance and Shiprock.
