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.

Tips Before You Go

• This is an Urgent Care Centre, not a full emergency department — for life-threatening emergencies such as chest pain, stroke symptoms, or serious trauma, call 911 or go to the nearest hospital ER.
• Call ahead at 403-995-2600 to confirm Urgent Care hours and current availability before making the trip from within Okotoks or surrounding rural areas.
• This facility is generally less congested than comparable Calgary urgent care centres, making it a practical first choice for Okotoks residents with non-critical concerns.
• Many programs at the centre are by appointment — if you need services like diabetes education, home care, or mental health support, call ahead to schedule rather than walking in.
• Bring your Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) card and a photo ID to every visit to ensure smooth registration and billing.
