Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Clinic

The Calgary STI clinic offers comprehensive STI services and is a walk-in only clinic at TWO locations; Sheldon M Chumir Health Centre (open Monday to Friday, and Saturdays that are not connected to a long weekend) and East Calgary Health Centre (Wed & Thurs only - very limited capacity).

As the demand for service is high, patients may experience longer wait times at the clinic. The clinic also prioritizes patients most in need and some patients are not always seen in the order they present to the clinic.

Please note that if you have an urgent STI-related issue please go to the Sheldon M Chumir Health Centre location.
