Extended Hours Primary Care Clinics
We know that getting sick or hurt doesn't just happen from 9 to 5. Extended Hours Primary Care Clinics (EHPCC) are designed to provide quick, convenient, and high-quality care for minor health issues outside of standard clinic hours.
EHPCC are ideal for anyone with pressing medical concerns when your family doctor or health care provider are unavailable. EHPCC are also ideal for anyone who may not have a family doctor. They're open in the evenings, on weekends, and even holidays.
The clinics work a lot like your family doctor’s or health care provider’s office. You'll see doctors, nurses or other health care providers who can treat things like:
- Headaches, earaches, back pain
- Rashes or skin ailments
- Sore throat, cough, fever
- Nose bleeds
- Sore eyes with redness or infection
- Diarrhea and vomiting or indigestion
- Urinary tract infections
- Frostbite
- Joint swelling
- Breast feeding issues
- Sexually transmitted infections and testing
- Pap tests
- Ongoing management of chronic conditions such as asthma or diabetes
When are the clinics open?
- Weekdays (M-F): 5:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.
- Weekends (Sat-Sun): 1:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.
- Holidays: 5:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Hours subject to change.
Your family physician is familiar with you and your medical history which is important when providing care. While your family doctor should remain your first point of contact, Extended Hours Primary Care Clinics are an excellent way to supplement that care, giving patients an option if their family doctor is unavailable for a period or if they can't be seen during regular clinic hours.
All care provided by Extended Hours Primary Care Clinics will be shared with your family doctor if any follow-up is required which is ideal for patients managing chronic conditions such as diabetes or asthma.
