New Extended Hours Primary Care Clinic at Victoria General Hospital to Open Thursday
Families living in the south end of Winnipeg will soon benefit from a new clinic open evenings and weekends at Victoria General Hospital for convenient and timely access to primary care, Health, Seniors and Long-Term Care Minister Uzoma Asagwara announced today.
“This is the third extended hours clinic we’ve opened in Winnipeg, because we know everyone deserves to access primary care, often outside of regular hours,” said Asagwara. “These later hours will mean you can get care even when you can’t step away from work or school during the day. For folks who may not have a primary care physician, this clinic can be a place to go for checkups, prescriptions and all of your routine health-care services.”
The Extended Hours Primary Care Clinic is staffed by a multi-disciplinary health-care team, including physicians, registered nurses and primary care assistants, and will have access to diagnostic imaging and medical laboratory services so patients can often be treated in a single visit, noted the minister, adding the clinic is an excellent way to supplement the care patients receive from their regular providers, offering options when their primary physician is unavailable.
The clinic officially opens its doors Thursday, May 15. It will be open from 5:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on weekdays and 1:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on weekends including statutory holidays to accommodate families’ busy schedules, added Asagwara.
Patients can book same-day appointments at the clinic online at https://medinav.ca/. Walk-in services will also be available on a limited basis.
Since September, the government has opened two other extended hours primary care clinics at Grace Hospital and Concordia Hospital that have received 8,380 total visits to date.
