Normal Operations Resume Feb. 23.

Temporary hours for Advanced Ambulatory Care Service in Sylvan Lake

Feb 21, 2022 | 7:49 PM

The Sylvan Lake Advanced Ambulatory Care Service (SLAACS) will be temporarily closed the morning of Feb. 22, due to a gap in physician coverage.

Officials with Alberta Health Services (AHS) say the Service will be closed from 7:30 a.m. to noon, at which time it will reopen to patients until 10 p.m. Normal hours of operation are expected to resume Feb. 23. This is a temporary measure said to be taken as a last resort, as all avenues to secure physician coverage have been exhausted.

Patients arriving at SLAACS outside the hours of operation will be redirected to other care options as appropriate. These options include returning later in the day during hours of operation, booking an appointment with their family doctor, or calling Health Link at 811 for medical information and advice.

Patients can also access medical care from facilities in nearby communities, including Rocky Mountain House and Red Deer.

Scheduled appointments with other health services – like Public Health, laboratory and Addiction and Mental Health –at the Sylvan Lake Community Health Centre are not impacted by the temporary change in hours.
