CLSC OLIVIER-GUIMOND

Best Times to Visit

Quieter times: As this is an appointment-based primary care CLSC (not a walk-in clinic or ER), visit times are determined by your scheduled appointment, available Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–4:00 PM. Contact the CLSC in advance to book.

Busier times: Walk-in visits for medical consultations are not available at this facility. If you arrive without an appointment, you will not be seen by a clinician. For time-sensitive or urgent medical needs, go to a hospital emergency department instead.

About CLSC OLIVIER-GUIMOND

CLSC Olivier-Guimond is a public community health and social services centre (Centre local de services communautaires) located at 5810 Rue Sherbrooke Est in the Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve neighbourhood of Montréal, QC. Founded in 1980 and part of the CIUSSS de l'Est-de-l'Île-de-Montréal network, it provides frontline primary care, preventive health, and social services to registered clients — but it is not a hospital and does not have an emergency department. Patients experiencing a medical emergency or requiring urgent care should proceed directly to a full hospital emergency department, with Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont being the nearest major option.
