Accessing care:

You can book an appointment by calling the reception desk during regular hours of operation.

Make sure you book well ahead for non-urgent concerns including medication renewals.

If your concern is urgent, reception will book an appointment for the earlist time with an available provider.

Emergency Care:

Please call us as a first contact for all your health care needs. However, if your concern requires emergency attention you should call 911 immediately or go directly to the nearest hospital emergency department.

On-call Access:

We provide on-call care for clients registered with the Centre to address urgent primary health care needs.

On-call care is proved outside of regular hours of operation, including weekends, by a physician or nurse practitioner.

You can access on-call by phoning the health centre and you will be directed to the on-call answering service.
