Best Times to Visit

Quieter times: The on-site medical clinic is open Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM–4:30 PM. Arriving earlier in the morning or earlier in the week generally offers the best access to physician services. For non-urgent community health services, call ahead to schedule an appointment.

Busier times: The medical clinic is not available on weekends or statutory holidays. For any urgent or acute medical needs outside clinic hours, do not wait — call 911 or proceed to Dauphin Regional Health Centre.
