Quieter times: As a primary care and community health centre, this facility operates by appointment for many services. Call ahead to confirm clinic times and availability to reduce wait times and ensure the service you need is offered that day.
Busier times: Walk-in availability may be limited during peak morning hours when demand for primary care and harm reduction services is highest. Calling ahead to book is strongly recommended. For after-hours emergencies, go directly to the nearest hospital emergency department.
Boyle McCauley Health Centre — now operating as Radius Community Health & Healing — is Edmonton's first and only non-profit, community-owned primary care centre, serving inner-city residents since 1980. Located at 10628 96 Street NW, it provides interdisciplinary, person-centred care for people facing barriers such as homelessness, poverty, addictions, and mental health challenges.

What is the Supervised Consumption Service (SCS) at this centre?

Is the dental clinic free or subsidized?

The H.E.R. (Health, Empowerment, and Recovery) Pregnancy Program supports pregnant women in Edmonton who are dealing with chronic homelessness, poverty, and problematic substance use, providing wrap-around prenatal care and support services.
Has Boyle McCauley Health Centre changed its name?
Yes. After more than 40 years as Boyle McCauley Health Centre, the organization rebranded as Radius Community Health & Healing. It remains the only non-profit, community-owned and operated health centre in the greater Edmonton area, continuing the same mission and services.
Emergency departments use triage. Patients with more serious conditions are seen first, regardless of arrival time.
Wait times are estimates based on Alberta health data. Actual wait times may vary.
This hospital does not publish a live wait, so the figure above comes from our model rather than from its own feed. We publish how that model performs where it can be checked, at the hospitals that do publish. See the accuracy scorecard, or how we work the number out.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.
