The Sylvan Lake Advanced Ambulatory Care Service (SLAACS) will be closed from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on July 18 due to a gap in physician coverage.
The Service will resume operations from 3 p.m. until 10 p.m. Normal operations of 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. will resume July 19.
Officials with Alberta Health Services (AHS) SAY this temporary closure is necessary as the service cannot operate without a physician onsite. Options to secure alternative coverage is said to have been exhausted, and this temporary closure is a last resort. Efforts to secure locums for additional gaps in physician coverage later this week continue aggressively.
Patients arriving at the Community Health Centre for care from the Advanced Ambulatory Care Service during the temporary closure will be redirected to other care options as appropriate. These options include returning later in the day when the service resumes, booking an appointment with a family doctor, or calling Health Link at 811 for medical information and advice.
