Providing access to care for those with unexpected, non-life threatening health concerns.
Urgent treatment centres offer quick, convenient care appropriate for many patients with unexpected, non-life-threatening health concerns, such as mild abdominal pain, minor infections, simple fractures and sprains.
There are now seven urgent treatment centres across the province. They are open weekdays while some are also open evenings and weekends.
More information on urgent treatment centre locations and hours of operation is available at nshealth.ca/urgenttreatmentcentre
We need to find new and innovative ways to deliver healthcare to Nova Scotians. Urgent treatment centres help ease the burden on our hospitals and provide timely care to those without a family doctor who have health concerns. I look forward to seeing more of these across the province.
