If you or someone with you is experiencing a life-threatening emergency such as chest pain, stroke symptoms, severe bleeding, or difficulty breathing, call 911 immediately or go directly to South Health Campus (4448 Front Street SE), which has a 24-hour emergency department.
Take advantage of the on-site Alberta Precision Laboratories at room 211 — blood work or lab tests ordered during your visit may be able to be completed in the same building the same day.
Arrive early in the day if possible, as urgent care centres across Calgary typically see higher patient volumes in the late morning through early evening hours.
Parking is free for up to 5 hours, so you won't need to worry about feeding a meter — but if your visit is complex, keep the time limit in mind.
