Tips Before You Go

• The co-located Teulon Medical Clinic (204-886-2131) offers same-day appointments for acute non-emergency conditions Monday through Friday — consider calling them first if your situation is not an emergency.
• Teulon is a small rural community; for life-threatening emergencies such as chest pain, stroke symptoms, or severe trauma, call 911 immediately — paramedics can begin treatment en route and coordinate transfer if needed.
• Complex or specialized cases may be stabilized at Teulon/Hunter Memorial and then transferred to Selkirk Regional Health Centre or Winnipeg — bring a list of your medications and medical history to help staff prepare transfer documentation quickly.
• An on-site pharmacy is available, so prescriptions resulting from your ER or clinic visit can often be filled without a separate trip.
• If you rely on the Handi-Van for transportation, arrange your ride in advance and inform hospital staff of your transportation situation so discharge planning can accommodate your needs.
