Tips Before You Go

• For non-emergency concerns, call ahead at 204-827-2438 to confirm which services are available during your planned visit — some diagnostics are only available weekdays from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm.
• If you may require CT, MRI, ultrasound, or specialist care, be aware these are not available on-site; you may be referred or transferred to Brandon Regional Health Centre (~80 km away) — plan accordingly.
• If you are visiting Spruce Woods Provincial Park (only 10 km away) and experience a medical emergency, Glenboro Health Centre is your closest emergency facility.
• Bring all current medications and a list of allergies, as the on-call physician will rely on your personal health history given limited specialist backup.
• A nearby community pharmacy — Glenboro Pharmacy on Railway Ave. — can assist with prescriptions following your visit.
