Tips Before You Go

• For life-threatening emergencies such as chest pain, stroke symptoms, or severe injuries, always call 911 rather than driving to the ER.
• Gladstone Health Centre offers telehealth services — ask staff if your follow-up care or specialist consultation can be handled virtually to save you a trip to a larger city.
• Visiting hours are generally 11 am – 8 pm; plan family visits within this window to minimize disruption to patient care.
• For non-emergency health questions before or after your visit, call Manitoba's Health Links–Info Santé line at 1-888-315-9257, available 24/7.
• If you require specialist care beyond what is available at this rural facility, ask your care team about referral pathways to regional centres in the area.
