The Meadow Lake Primary Health Care Centre is expanding its hours to meet increased demand from the community.
Effective Jan. 2, 2018, the clinic be open an additional two hours a day from Monday to Friday, and will increase the number of walk-in patients seen. The clinic will open at 7:45 a.m., remain open over lunch, and will close at 5:30 p.m. For walk-ins, a minimum of 40 patients will be seen a day.
Clinic Manager Krystina Penner said the changes reflect a great deal of feedback from the community, and cooperation and support from the clinic staff.
“The biggest thing that the community has been telling us is that we need more appointments,” she said. “We are always having to turn away people for walk-ins, we’re always at our max for that, so we’ve been looking at ways to increase those same days for the acute stuff that can’t wait for an appointment four weeks from now.”
