PICTURE BUTTE – Due to an unexpected clinical personnel shortage and inability to secure coverage, the Piyami Health Centre ambulatory clinic will be temporarily closed Saturday, Jan. 25. The clinic will reopen Sunday, Jan. 26 with regular weekend clinic hours from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The non-urgent walk-in clinic offers care to people who need to see a doctor but don’t need to be seen in the emergency department. Residents may also utilize the Coaldale Health Centre ambulatory clinic on weekends from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Residents are reminded to call Health Link at 811, which is available 24/7 for non-emergency health-related questions. Patients seeking emergency care can also access the emergency department at Chinook Regional Hospital in Lethbridge.
In the event of a medical emergency, please call 911.
AHS is working hard to ensure local residents continue to have access to the care they need during this time.
We are thankful for the support of primary care teams and healthcare centres in the surrounding communities and would like to thank the community for their patience and understanding during this time.
