Mobile Primary Care Clinics

The mobile primary care clinic is a temporary service to ensure we are bridging a gap in primary care services currently being experienced around the province. This clinic is not a substitute for your primary care provider. However, there are times when you may not be able to see your primary care provider, or you do not have a primary care provider.

These clinics can only address non-urgent, low acuity health issues and is not an emergency service. Care is provided using a team approach, which includes nurse practitioners and family physicians. Patients will be seen in a clinic environment.
