Winnipeggers looking to see a doctor now have a new clinic to visit.
On Wednesday, the province announced the opening of a second Extended Hours Primary Care Clinic at Concordia Hospital.
“We are bringing health care closer to home for northeast Winnipeggers.” said Premier Wab Kinew. “We were elected on the promise to provide convenient and accessible health care to families across Manitoba and these clinics are doing just that. If your kid scrapes their knee, your parents need a checkup or you need to renew your prescription, you can head down to Concordia’s new clinic.”
The clinic, which will be open evenings, weekends and holidays, is located in Room 127A at Concordia Hospital. It offers family doctors and nurses who can treat patients for common ailments and support the ongoing management of chronic conditions.
“Life can’t always adapt to a nine to five schedule and folks can’t always plan for their health-care needs,” said Seniors and Long-Term Care Minister Uzoma Asagwara. “Hard-working Manitobans need convenient options for accessing local care. We had an incredible response to the first Extended Hours Primary Care Clinic at the Grace Hospital. More than 560 patients have been seen since the clinic opened just over a month ago. I’m so glad to be opening another Extended Hours Primary Care Clinic that will reach even more Manitobans.”
The clinic at Concordia Hospital will be open after hours from 5:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on weekdays and 1:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on weekends, and offer special hours during the holidays. Patients can register for same-day appointments online at https://myrightcare.ca and some walk-in spots will be available every day.
