A temporary closure is to occur at the Sylvan Lake Advanced Ambulatory Care Service (SLAACS) due to a gap in physician coverage.

The centre will be temporarily closed Friday, July 19 from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Normal business hours will resume at 3 p.m. on July 19.

According to Alberta Health Services, patients can access medical care for urgent health concerns from facilities in nearby communities, including Red Deer and Rocky Mountain House.
