Tips Before You Go

• Call ahead at 204-877-3925 to confirm which services are available before making the trip, especially for non-emergency or specialty care needs.
• For life-threatening emergencies such as heart attack, stroke, or major trauma, be aware that you may be stabilized at Reston and then transferred to a larger regional hospital for advanced care.
• If you need prescription services, Reston Drugs at 209 4th Street is your nearest community pharmacy — plan your visit during their Monday–Friday hours.
• Primary health care through the Nurse Practitioner requires an appointment — do not visit the health centre expecting walk-in primary care outside of emergency services.
• Given the rural location and limited nearby services, bring a support person when possible, especially for visits that may result in a transfer to another facility.
