Premier Wab Kinew and Health Minister Uzoma Asagwara said the Concordia Hospital clinic will provide care during evenings, weekends, and holidays offering treatment for minor injuries, checkups or prescription renewals.
Asagwara said the success of the first extended-hours clinic at Grace Hospital is encouraging.
“Life can’t always adapt to a nine-to-five schedule and folks can’t always plan for their health-care needs,” Asagwara said. “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 Concordia clinic will operate on weekdays from 5:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. and on weekends from 1:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Holiday hours will also be offered. Patients can register for same-day appointments online, with some walk-in spots available daily.
