The Sylvan Lake Advanced Ambulatory Care Service (SLAACS) will be closed unexpectedly today from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. and will be closed over the same timeframe on Tuesday, August 9 due to a gap in physician coverage.
Officials with Alberta Health Services (AHS) say the Service will be available from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. both days before the temporary closures take effect. Regular operations of 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. will resume August 10.
Officials say these temporary closures are necessary as the service cannot operate without a physician onsite. Options to secure alternative coverage have been exhausted, add AHS officials.
Patients arriving at the Community Health Centre for care from the Advanced Ambulatory Care Service during the temporary closures will be redirected to other care options as appropriate to their needs. These options include returning when the service resumes, booking an appointment with a family doctor, or calling Health Link at 811 for medical information and advice.
