About Okotoks Health and Wellness Centre

The Okotoks Health and Wellness Centre, located at 11 Cimarron Common in Okotoks, Alberta, is a community health hub operated by Alberta Health Services that includes an Urgent Care Centre designed to bridge the gap between a walk-in clinic and a full hospital emergency department. The facility is staffed by registered nurses, nurse practitioners, and physicians who assess and treat non-life-threatening conditions, with all patients triaged on arrival by a registered nurse according to urgency. Patients experiencing life-threatening emergencies are stabilized on-site and transferred to a full emergency department — for any life-threatening situation, call 911 immediately.
