The Sylvan Lake Advanced Ambulatory Care Service (SLAACS) will be closed May 25 from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., due to an unexpected gap in physician coverage.
Officials with Alberta Health Services (AHS) say the service will reopen at 3 p.m. and operate until 10 p.m.. Normal hours of 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. resume May 26.
This temporary closure is said to be necessary as the service cannot operate without a physician onsite. Options to secure alternative coverage have been exhausted, and reducing hours is a last resort, say AHS officials.
Patients arriving at SLAACS during this time will be redirected to other care options as appropriate. These options include returning the next day when the service resumes, booking an appointment with their family doctor, or calling Health Link at 811 for medical information and advice.
