WAG will be closed Friday, December 20, 2024 – January 1, 2025, for staff to celebrate the holiday with their families. We will return to our regular surgical schedule on Thursday, January 2, 2025.

All messages will be checked daily at 10:30 am. If a message is left after that, the messages will be addressed the next day.
